Document: Opioid use disorder (OUD) and overdose deaths are increasingly prevalent among youth and young adults; however, the evidence-based medication-assisted treatments (MATs) that have U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for the treatment of adults are not approved for persons aged 16 to 18 years.
