One of the major barriers to buprenorphine maintenance is the fear of precipitated withdrawal during induction. As the drug supply has changed, new approaches to buprenorphine induction are needed. This training will review practices of buprenorphine induction and preventing precipitated withdrawal.
The Poison Control Center at CHOP provides Philadelphia’s medical community with Opioid Assistance Resource support via our 24/7 phone line: 800-222-1222. OAR is here to help you with managing opioid toxicity and initiating buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder.
