The new EU Drugs Strategy
Integrating psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy into addiction care in the Czech Republic
The Czech Republic, like many European countries, continues to face significant challenges in treating substance use disorders (SUDs), with high relapse rates and complex comorbidities often linked to trauma and mental illness. Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy (PAP) has re-emerged internationally as a promising therapeutic modality, although available evidence remains heterogeneous across substances, populations, and study designs. This narrati…
The Optimus International Consensus Guidance for Monitoring User-Reported Outcomes of Opioid Maintenance Treatment
Opioid use disorder is a major cause of drug-related harm and mortality. These can be reduced by expanded access to evidence-based and highly effective opioid agonist maintenance treatment or therapy (OMT). There is a lack of consensus on how to assess opioid use disorder treatment outcomes, and key health outcomes are often omitted. We report the results of a Delphi study to produce service user- and public health–centred international consensus…
Preexisting morbidity and 2-year treatment retention in opioid agonist treatment. A population-based data-linkage study in the Czech Republic
Limited research exists on how preexisting comorbidities impact retention in opioid agonist treatment (OAT). This study aimed to (1) describe OAT retention and participation, and (2) examine the association of preexisting comorbidities and other patient characteristics with 24-month retention. This registry-based nationwide cohort study used linked health records of 1,553 individuals newly initiating OAT in the Czech Republic between 2011 and 201…
Getting “The whole picture”
BACKGROUND: Several jurisdictions have pursued reforms that regulate cannabis production and/or sale for adult (non-medical) use. Looking at outcomes of such reforms across multiple jurisdictions may help to identify outcomes that are inherent to non-criminal cannabis supply, as well as provide insight into the outcomes of specific regulation models. METHODS: We identified nine indicators of cannabis policy outcomes and aggregated them into three…
Psychomodulatory substances
This article challenges drug prohibition advocated by UN conventions as the prevailing regulatory model for psychoactive substances, highlighting its ineffectiveness, harmfulness and outdated nature. At the same time, the conventions exclude some psychoactive substances from international regulation, leaving control to individual countries. Presenting an innovative approach, this article outlines an approach to the legal regulation of psychomodul…
Prevalence of drug use before and during imprisonment in seven European countries (2014–2018)
Substance use is a global phenomenon that is particularly affecting the prison population. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of drug use among people in prison before and during incarceration in seven European countries and to compare it with the prevalence in the general population. Individual data collection was carried out between 2014 and 2018 with a model European Questionnaire on Drug Use among people in prison. A total of 12,918 …
Large variations in all-cause and overdose mortality among >13,000 patients in and out of opioid maintenance treatment in different settings
Background: Opioid maintenance treatment (OMT) has the potential to reduce mortality rates substantially. We aimed to compare all-cause and overdose mortality among OMT patients while in or out of OMT in two different countries with different approaches to OMT. Methods: Two nation-wide, registry-based cohorts were linked by using similar analytical strategies. These included 3,637 male and 1,580 female patients enrolled in OMT in Czechia (years 2…
Opioid Agonist Maintenance Treatment Outcomes—The Optimus International Consensus Towards Evidence-Based and Patient-Centred Care, an Interim Report
Non-medical opioid use is a major public health concern causing high mortality. While opioid agonist maintenance treatment (OMT) is a key life-saving intervention, there is (a) no international consensus on opioid treatment outcomes and (b) few opioid treatment outcome studies include key (public) health outcomes, such as overdose or HIV/hepatitis C. We report the rationale and study protocol for, and preliminary results of, an ongoing internatio…
Typology of Users of Psychedelics and Alike Psychoactive Substances in Czechia
The aim of this study was to define the typical groups of users of psychedelics and alike psychoactive substances in Czechia regarding various variables such as demographics, their patterns of use, or motivation for use. Data from 890 Czech respondents were collected through an online questionnaire as a part of The National Psychedelic Research Project. Subjects reported experience with the use of 29 selected substances by answering 133 questions…
The identification of artefacts in reporting of drug‐induced deaths using structural breaks analysis of time series statistics
Substance use in Roma population in contact with social workers in the Czech Republic
An increasing number of studies have focused on the topic of Roma communities and social exclusion in the Czech Republic, however, substance use has been surveyed only marginally. This paper brings new data on the patterns of substance use among Roma population in contact with social workers (546 respondents). Substance use, including daily smoking and regular excessive alcohol drinking, has been 2-6 times higher among Roma compared to the genera…
