Death and disability resulting from the use of prescription and street opioids has skyrocketed in the past 20 years, and hospital-based clinicians have seen a sharp escalation in visits related to opioid use disorder, opioid overdose, and chronic pain. This presentation will describe the fundamental principles around the prevention, identification, and treatment of patients with OUD, with an emphasis on the first-line therapy buprenorphine, which protects OUD patients from withdrawal, cravings, and overdose, and is effectively initiated from the emergency department, inpatient, and outpatient clinic-based settings.
Presenter: Dr. Reuben Strayer, MD, FRCPC, FAAEM, FASAM, Author of emupdates.com and Emergency Physician based in New York City
