How Vermont is Treating Opioid Use Disorder

On this episode of GMM, we are joined by Dr. Elly Riser, a hospitalist and assistant professor of medicine at UVMMC.  We discuss recent changes in the treatment of opioid use disorder, the landscape of harm reduction and treatment options in Vermont, and the importance of a multifaceted approach to addiction treatment.

We also learned several fantastic clinical pearls about pharmacology and managing acute pain in patients with opioid use disorder.
