Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that can be prescribed by trained Internists and dispensed at pharmacies.

This session will address the clinical presentation of a patient with opioid dependence and describes the relatively new practice of office-based treatment with buprenorphine/naloxone. It examines the different components of treatment, the role of the Internist in providing this treatment, and the logistics of treating this growing and multi-faceted patient population
