Buprenorphine unobserved "home" induction: a survey of Ontario's addiction physicians.

CONCLUSIONS: Ontario addiction physicians largely report following the traditional method of bringing in patients for observed in-office buprenorphine induction: they expressed fear of precipitated withdrawal, diversion, and going against clinical guidelines. The hesitance in using unobserved induction may explain, in part, Ontario's reliance on methadone. PMID: 31039821 [PubMed - in process]
