Description:
The buprenorphine induction remains a point of anxiety for providers and patients alike. Recent adaptations to the traditional induction process have facilitated patient engagement and minimized opioid withdrawal symptoms during the transition. The purpose of this webinar is to discuss the theory and practice of low-dose buprenorphine inductions commonly referred to as "microdosing" for the treatment of opioid use disorder.
By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to accomplish the following objectives:
1) Examine the rationale for low-dose buprenorphine inductions.
2) Effectively assess patients for factors that affect the risk of precipitated withdrawal.
3) Identify appropriate patients for low-dose buprenorphine inductions.
4) Design a low-dose buprenorphine induction strategy.
Target Audience:
All healthcare team members
