If someone is remotely considering OUD Tx and has to make calls for an appt, sit in a waiting room for hours, or sit through a prolonged intake process....the odds of being able to do so is SO MUCH higher if not in active withdrawal.
For those in the ER - can someone give me an arguement for how a Bupe start for OUD with unclear follow up is worse than a list of phone numbers and maybe some naloxone?
