Patients’ Perceptions of the Role of Nursing in Substance Use Disorder Treatment Programs: Qualitative Study Background: Substance use disorders are chronic conditions with significant personal and social consequences. Nursing care plays a key role in outpatient and community-based rehabilitation programs, yet patients’ perspectives on this role remain underexplored. Objective: This study aimed to explore how patients with substance use disorders perceive and interpret #nursing care in community addiction treatment centers operated by the Spanish Red Cross in Madrid, Spain. Specifically, it sought to describe the organizational and care-related roles attributed to community addiction treatment centers and analyze patients’ perceptions of #nurses’ technical and relational functions. Methods: A phenomenological qualitative design was used. Fourteen in-depth, semistructured interviews were conducted with patients undergoing treatment at Red Cross centers. Participants were selected through purposive sampling to ensure diversity in age, gender, substance use, and treatment experiences. The data were analyzed using systematic text condensation and supported by the ATLAS.ti software. Results: The center is perceived as a significant space not only for offering healthy leisure activities outside the context of substance use but also as a supportive environment that fosters a sense of belonging to a community. Patients valued the emotional support, empathy, and relational care provided by #nurses, often highlighting their role in building trust and offering personalized attention. However, there was limited awareness of #nurses’ technical competencies. Conclusions: These findings underscore the importance of holistic, patient-centered care and the need to enhance the visibility and recognition of #nursing roles in addiction treatment settings.

A NOVEL APPROACH to ADDICTION TREATMENT…

Large VA Study Suggests GLP-1 Medications Like Ozempic May Reduce Risk of Multiple Substance Use Disorders and Related Harms A new observational study analyzing electronic health records from over 600,000 U.S. veterans with type 2 diabetes, published in The BMJ, indicates that GLP-1 receptor agonist medications—such as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound)—are associated with significant reductions in addiction-related outcomes. These drugs, originally developed for diabetes and obesity, appear to dampen cravings by acting on brain reward pathways involving dopamine. Among patients with existing substance use disorders, those on GLP-1 drugs experienced 50% fewer substance-related deaths, 39% fewer overdoses, 26% fewer drug-related hospitalizations, and 25% fewer suicide attempts over three years, equating to about 12 fewer serious events per 1,000 people. For those without prior addiction, the drugs were linked to an 18% lower risk of developing alcohol use disorder, 25% lower for opioids, and around 20% lower for cocaine and nicotine dependence, preventing roughly 6-7 new diagnoses per 1,000 users. Animal studies and smaller human trials support these findings, showing reduced alcohol intake and drug self-administration. While not yet approved for addiction treatment, the widespread use of GLP-1 drugs in primary care could offer broad benefits if confirmed by randomized trials. Potential concerns include rebound effects upon discontinuation and impacts on general motivation, but the results highlight a promising repurposing of these medications for a major public health gap in addiction care.
