The Fiendishness of Fentanyl

Enroll Yourself

Our medical team will discuss how fentanyl use has contributed to excess overdose deaths. This discussion will also include an explanation of how the increased use of this high potency opioid has necessitated some changes in our prior MOUD practices, such as induction of buprenorphine and total dose used. Attention will also be called to the importance of integrating harm reduction practices into the care of patients with fentanyl use disorder, including naloxone prescribing, clean needle distribution, and fentanyl test strip distribution.

Objectives:

• Review the uniquely fatal nature of fentanyl use disorder.
• Learn about how modifications to typical MOUD protocols maybe more effective in this population.
