- Title
Incorporating prescription psychostimulants into the continuum of care for people with stimulant use disorder in Canada.
- Authors
Palis, Heather; MacDonald, Scott
- Abstract
Similarly to opioid agonist treatment, prescribed psychostimulants can support the management of cravings and withdrawal symptoms in patients with stimulant use disorder and can be prescribed with the overall goal of supporting reductions in illegal stimulant use. Accumulating evidence supports treatment of stimulant use disorder with prescribed psychostimulants, but no pharmacologic treatments for stimulant use disorder are currently approved in Canada.
