Show Notes

In the era of illicit fentanyl, the approach to buprenorphine induction has been adapted. Starting with low doses of buprenorphine can be applied to anyone taking a full agonist opioid, including cases of buprenorphine for chronic pain. We will discuss why, how, and what to consider as part of realistic implementation of low-dose buprenorphine induction therapy.
