Buprenorphine/Naloxone Induction Approaches

By the end of this BC ECHO on Substance Use session, participants will be able to:
1) describe the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine/naloxone,
2) use the clinical opioid withdrawal scale (COWS) and subjective opiate withdrawal scale (SOWS) to assess opioid withdrawal,
3) describe when micro-dosing inductions and traditional inductions are most appropriate, and
4) describe how to conduct a buprenorphine/naloxone induction
