The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the predicted number of drug overdose deaths in the 12-month period ending in April 2021 exceeded 100,000 for the first time ever.
The 2022 AMA-Manatt Toolkit provides actionable resources that states can use to take specific actions in six policy areas:
• Increase access to evidence-based treatments to help patients with a substance use disorder (SUD).
• Ensure access to addiction medicine, psychiatry, and other trained physicians.
• Enforce mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) parity laws.
• Improve access to multidisciplinary, multimodal care for patients with pain.
• Expand harm reduction efforts to reduce death and disease.
• Improve monitoring and evaluation.
To achieve this, the toolkit provides:
• Specific Actions. We highlight 24 key actions—with at least three in each policy area—that all states should consider.
• Tangible Resources. We provide specific resources for each of the recommendations across the six policy areas, with a brief description of the resource and a link to download the “ready to use” resource.
• Compendium of Detailed Resources. We then take those resources and build them out into a more extensive compendium that includes detailed resources in each of the six policy areas.
