Initiating buprenorphine to treat opioid use disorder without prerequisite withdrawal: a systematic review
Buprenorphine is a front-line treatment for opioid use disorder, but traditional protocols require an opioid-free interval of time prior to treatment initiation. The discomfort of this withdrawal period presents a barrier to treatment. This systematic review aims to identify alternative buprenorphine initiation strategies, including microdosing, with the goal of avoiding prerequisite withdrawal and thereby increasing the number of people who engage in this life-saving treatment.

Editor profile
Dr Jeffrey Samet, Editor-in-Chief
"Improving the quality of care provided to patients with problems from the use of alcohol and other drugs should be a major health-care goal and research agenda as articulated in the 2006 US Institute of Medicine report, Improving the Quality of Health Care for Mental and Substance Use Conditions. Our goal is to make Addiction Science & Clinical Practice the primary home for evidence to address this international health-care challenge."
Society affiliation
International Network on Brief Interventions for Alcohol & Other Drugs
INEBRIA is an international network of researchers, policy makers, practitioners and other stakeholders interested in the potential of brief interventions in health and other settings to reduce the harms produced by alcohol and other drug use. Its main goals are:
1. To share information, experiences, research findings and expertise in the area of early identification and brief intervention for hazardous and harmful substance use.
2. To promote best practice in, and encourage the development of, guidelines for the wide dissemination and implementation of evidence-based early identification and brief intervention for hazardous and harmful substance use.
3. To identify gaps and needs for research in the field of early identification and brief intervention for hazardous and harmful substance use, promote International research co-operation and set standards for research.
4. To Promote the Integration of the study of brief interventions for hazardous and harmful substance use with the wider context of measures to prevent and reduce substance-related harm.
