Psychiatry Advisor (9/19, Rans) reports, a study suggests “linkage to an office‐based buprenorphine treatment program following discharge from a short-term managed detoxification program was associated with reduced rates of illicit opioid use in patients with opioid use disorder.” The findings from the randomized trial published in Addiction showed “that patients in the short-term detoxification program had significantly reduced rates of illicit opioid use at follow-up on day 12,” 35, 95, and 185.
