Evaluation of Applications to an Alcohol and Substance Dependence Research, Treatment and Training Centre (AMATEM): Data from Adiyaman Province in 2017
Abstract
Objective: Substance use disorder (SUD) continue to be a problem for the whole world in the first quarter of the twenty-first century. The leading centres in the treatment of SUD in our country are the Alcohol-Drug Addiction Research Treatment and Training Centres (AMATEM). In this study, we aimed to examine 2017 data of the AMATEM outpatients in our province.
Material and Methods: The study was conducted as a retrospective study of AMATEM applications between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017. Information such as gender, age and substance use characteristics of the applications were obtained from the patient recording system.
Results: A total of 211 applications were reached. The rate of men was 95.7%, female rate was 4.3%, and the mean age was 26.09±7.87 years. The mean age was significantly higher in patients with alcohol use disorder than in the other diagnoses. 86.4% of the patients were in the 20-29 age range. 80.1% of the patients were diagnosed with opiate use disorder (OUD). The repeated applications were significantly higher in OUD than in other applicants. The rate of prescribing of buprenorphine+naloxane in OUD was 73.4%. Buprenorphine, buprenorphine+opiate and opiate positivity was higher than other parameters in urine toxic screening. In OUD, substance positivity in urine was significantly higher in non-opiates than in non-opiates.
Conclusion: This study is important in terms of revealing that opiate use is a serious problem in our province. At the same time, as far as we know, it is the first study of AMATEM outpatient data in our province. Further studies are needed in this field.
