On this episode we discuss the management of opioid use disorder. We begin by describing its clinical presentations, etiologies, and pathophysiology. We then compare and contrast the efficacy, safety profiles, and appropriate use of medications for opioid use disorder, behavioral therapies, and patient monitoring in treating opioid use disorder.
