Randomized Trial of Buprenorphine Microdose Inductions During Hospitalization

NCT05118204

RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

Investigators will test a novel protocol for starting BUP (buprenorphine-naloxone) treatment. The BUP microdose induction protocol has participants start very low doses of BUP without stopping other opioids that they are taking. The treatment as usual (TAU) has participants stop other opioids and experience opioid withdrawal before starting BUP. Investigators propose to test BUP microdose inductions vs. TAU in a randomized controlled trial.
