摘要

Substance use disorders are common in primary care settings, but detection, assessment, and management are seldom undertaken. Substantial evidence supports that alcohol screening and brief intervention for risky drinking and pharmacotherapy are effective for alcohol use disorders. Substance use disorders can complicate the management of chronic non-cancer pain, making routine monitoring and assessment for substance use disorders an important aspect of long-term opioid prescribing. Patients with opioid use disorders can be effectively treated with methadone in opioid treatment programs or with buprenorphine in the primary care setting.
