“…In youth, among an urban sample with a history of prescription opioid or tranquilizer (benzodiazepines, clonidine, quetiapine) misuse, history of intranasal drug use, injection drug use, and psychiatric hospitalization increased risk for overdose [43].

Purpose of review: To review information specific to adolescents regarding trends in opioid use, risk factors for opioid misuse, medical co-morbidity, and treatment updates. Recent findings: Although opioid misuse in adolescents is uncommon, it is associated with morbidity and mortality such as hepatitis C and overdose. Adolescents commonly start with prescription opioid misuse before transitioning to heroin use. The existing literature supports the use of buprenorphine/naloxone for the treatment of adolescent opioid use disorders. Safe medication storage and disposal is important to decrease adolescent prescription opioid misuse. Summary: Opioid misuse occurs in adolescents and pediatric providers need to remain up to date.
