Treating Opioid Use Disorder and Managing Chronic Pain in Today's Epidemic of Overdose Deaths

This workshop is designed for clinicians prescribing medication for the treatment of addiction and pain management. It will build skills using buprenorphine in the emergency department, hospital and ambulatory settings and managing challenging inductions such as from fentanyl. An updated comparison on the buprenorphine formulations and clinical use will be provided. We will help clinicians navigate the current climate of the overdose epidemic and the changing regulatory and Drug Enforcement Agency standards of care which mandate requirements for practice, documentation and record keeping. Topics include long-acting depot buprenorphine, transdermal and sublingual buprenorphine for pain, “low” and “high” dose inductions on to buprenorphine.

This workshop was recorded at the 2022 State of the Art conference.
