Objective: To assess the associations of RAAM clinics with emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalizations, and mortality for people with POU.
Objectives: To describe 2 case reports in which high-dose administration of sublingual buprenorphine/naloxone quickly stabilized fentanyl users who presented to the hospital. To discuss how early administration of extended-release buprenorphine, before the patient is discharged, may improve retention rates for outpatient buprenorphine treatment.
Methods: Two case reports of fentanyl users presented to the emergency department at the general hospital in Timmins, Canada are described.
