OPIOID WITHDRAWAL
Symptoms opposite of acute effects Timing depends on drug length action PE, educate, motivate Methadone or Buprenorphene

CLINICAL OPIOID WITHDRAWAL SCALE (COWS)
Pulse > 80 Rhinorrhea Sweating Cramps/naus/vomit Restless Tremor Pupils ↑ Yawning Bone/joint pain Anxous/irritable Goosebumps Each scored 1-4 or 1-5 Total: 5-12 = mild 25-36 = mod/severe 13-24 = mod > 36 = severe
WITHDRAWAL
Detox ≠ rehabilitation Onset symptoms Naloxone: in 2 minutes Short acting (heroin): ~ 8 hrs, ↓ day 4 Long acting (methadone): 1+ days, ↓ day 10 Protracted withdrawal: 2 weeks to 2+ months Fatigue ↓ appetite insomnia anhedonia
LONG ACTING OPIOID TAPER
Oral methadone SL buprenorphine PE PE: Rx at mild sympt Initial dose (ck in 1 hr; adjust) 10 mg < current dose 4-8 mg 10-30 mg/d (÷) Stabilize 7-14 days 2-5 days Taper ~ 0-20% of initial dose Every 1-2 days
