Points & Pearls Excerpt

  • For many patients in the U.S., an ED visit for symptoms of opioid overdose or withdrawal may be their only interaction with the healthcare system and is an opportunity to offer patients treatment options for opioid use disorder (OUD).
  • ED patients presenting for any opioid-related complaint should be screened for OUD to identify those who would benefit from ED-initiated medication for OUD (MOUD) and long-term treatment referral.
  • There are currently 3 FDA-approved medications for MOUD: (1) buprenorphine, (2) methadone, and (3) naltrexone.
