Abstract:
Buprenorphine induction can be challenging for patients with chronic pain or patients who are unable to cease opioids for sufficient time to prevent precipitated opioid withdrawal. In the outpatient setting, low-dose buprenorphine induction strategies have been described to avoid these barriers; however, these strategies are not generalizable to the hospital setting where specific medication regulations may apply. We report a novel strategy for hospital-based low-dose buprenorphine initiation that facilitates transition from full opioid agonists to buprenorphine.
