Background: The opiate epidemic continues to cause hardship to American communities, including in all counties in Ohio, and resulted in 100 000 drug overdoses in 2021. Medications such as buprenorphine have helped people affected by opiate use disorder (OUD) to continue through recovery, although medication assisted therapy (MAT) has shown limited retention rates, calling for complimentary interventions to be implemented. Exercise has potential to reduce cardiovascular risk, lower obesity, and improve mental health. The aim of this study is to systematically review the literature on OUD and exercise as an adjunct to MAT. The authors hypothesize that there is a gap in the knowledge as to whether this modality has been thoroughly researched to aid in OUD recovery.Methods: A database literature search of PubMed, CINHAL, and PsychInfo returned a total of 458 abstracts. Four sets of exclusion criteria were implemented resulting in a total of 26 articles. After further review, 8 more articles were excluded by the authors.Results: Eighteen articles including participants with OUD were systematically reviewed. Only 1 article solely fo-cused on participants with OUD and exercise as an adjunct to treatment.Conclusion: Exercise as an adjunct to treatment for OUD is an area of addiction treatment that warrants further investigation. Incorporating exercise into a recovery program for people with substance use disorders (SUD) specifically has been touted as a promising modality, however, limitations in OUD only studies and lack of control groups make it difficult to draw a conclusion to support our hypothesis.

ObjectiveMethamphetamine (MA)-dependent individuals’ health problems are widespread and need to be solved urgently. Exercise is considered a potential treatment for MA dependents. The study aimed to determine the effects of a 12-week aerobic exercise on the social, physical, and mental health of MA-dependent individuals.Materials and methodsSixty MA-dependent individuals were randomly assigned into two groups. Subjects in the exercise group (n = 30) received an exercise intervention five days a week for 60 min each for 12 weeks. Subjects in the control group (n = 30) received regular corrective rehabilitation without exercise in the same setting. Outcome measures, including questionnaires [quality of life scale for drug addiction (QOL-DA), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI)] and physical fitness, were arranged the day before the start of the intervention and the day after the end of the intervention. Two-factor repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the treatment differences between the two groups.ResultsAfter 12 weeks of the intervention period, social health was significantly improved in the exercise group (P < 0.01), and there was a statistically significant difference in mental health scores between exercise group and control group, with a greater impact in exercise group.(Psychology: P < 0.01; SAS: P < 0.01; SDS: P < 0.01; PSQI: P < 0.01), physical health improved in the exercise group, physiology (P < 0.01), symptom (P < 0.01), heart rate (P < 0.01), systolic blood pressure (P < 0.01), systolic blood pressure (P < 0.01), vital capacity (P < 0.05), grip (P < 0.01), vertical jump (P < 0.001), sit and reach (P < 0.01), 50-meter run (P < 0.01), and reaction time (P < 0.01).ConclusionAerobic exercise intervention is an effective treatment for MA-dependent individuals, and the 12-week intervention improved the social, physical, and mental health of MA-dependent individuals. We recommend that future studies focus more on drug-dependent individuals’ overall health status rather than just relapse.Clinical trial registration: [https://www.chictr.org.cn/hvshowproject.aspx?id=131048], identifier [ChiCTR2200055348].
