500 _aAbstract: Stimulant use disorders are emerging as a serious global threat to health. Although research, clinical, and policy efforts have largely concentrated on opioid use disorders over the past decade, exponential rises in prevalence and overdose deaths attributable to stimulant use disorders warrant renewed attention. To date, no approved medications are available to treat stimulant use use disorders; however, behavioral interventions have been effective and should be proactively promoted. Similarly, complementary and integrative therapies and harm reduction services have emerging evidence for effectiveness in treating these conditions. Research, practice, and policy interventions should address stigma for medications for stimulant use disorders when available, vaccine hesitancy if vaccines are approved and safe, environmental surveillance to reduce population exposure to toxic effects of methamphetamines, and educational interventions for health providers to increase competency to reduce the long term effects on various body systems.
