Recorded: Thursday, March 31, 2022 - Sunday, April 3, 2022
On-Demand Session
Overview
This 1-hour, on-demand session from the ASAM 53rd Annual Conference addresses the management of precipitated withdrawal in the outpatient setting including use of telemedicine support and indications for referral to higher levels of care.
Despite the complexity of managing precipitated opioid withdrawal, there remains little consensus on best practices for treatment, particularly in the outpatient setting. This session offers and in-depth examinination of prediction, prevention, and management of precipitated withdrawal in the outpatient settings from the acute care setting perspective. Additionally, this session explores various clinical scenarios and current evidence on management of precipitated withdrawal and address concerns regarding the risk of precipitated withdrawal in the outpatient setting.
The target audience for this Intermediate level session includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, other clinicians, researchers, residents, fellows, students, and counselors.
This session addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Patient Care and Procedural Skills, Medical Knowledge, Practice-based Learning and Improvement.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, learners will be able to:
- Identify whether precipitated withdrawal can be predicted based on patient characteristics such as frequency or type of opioid used
- Compare buprenorphine induction protocols (including microdosing with sublingual or transdermal patch, macrodosing and subcutaneous buprenorphine) and the likelihood of precipitating significant withdrawal.
- Review the existing evidence for management of precipitated opioid withdrawal in the outpatient setting
