So for every two patients who are prescribed buprenorphine, one sees a benefit in one of those major outcomes.
So it's pretty incredible.
They're some of the most efficacious medications in all of medicine because they really work that well.
So that is the evidence that as an addiction medicine professional, I'm trying to portray to my patients.
And they're navigating a really tough time.
They're navigating their addiction.
the expectations of their family and the expectations of their community.
It's my job to represent how powerful that medical data is.
It's not an easy question to answer.
There's multiple winds and forces at play.
Overall, addiction remains a highly stigmatized condition.
So at the most basic
Basic level, very few patients who need addiction care get it.
That's from a self-disclosure point of view and also an accessibility point of view.
I think it's hard to have addiction medicine-trained individuals in all aspects of healthcare.
It's also just now becoming really commonplace for doctors to be talking about addiction and asking the red flag signals that they can be referred to the resources that they need.
The statistics about the medication effectiveness are not the troubling statistics.
It's actually about the number of patients who need them who aren't getting them.
So once a patient gets the medication, I think that's where the success lies.
But now it's really about lowering barriers to care, lowering the stigma around using the medication so that when offered, patients accept and want to participate in that treatment.
