Buprenorphine Training equips clinicians to start and maintain MOUD confidently—standard, micro-induction, and fentanyl-aware strategies; managing precipitated withdrawal; and optimizing dose and follow-up. This page turns guidance into step-by-step protocols for office, ED, and inpatient starts, plus counseling points that set expectations and improve adherence. If you’re exploring an MOUD training conference, you’ll find practical algorithms, patient education scripts, and troubleshooting for pain, pregnancy, and polysubstance use. Because stigma and logistics still block access, we include low-threshold models, pharmacy coordination, and tele-inductions with clear safety rules.

Success relies on preparation and continuities of care. We outline eligibility checks, baseline assessments, and shared decisions about goals and formulations (including long-acting options). We show how to prevent and manage precipitated withdrawal, adjust doses for ongoing fentanyl exposure, and integrate contingency strategies and peer support.
