Presents a sample intake questionnaire for patient treatment-planning questions.

Rates 11 common opiate withdrawal signs or symptoms with a clinician-administered pen-and-paper instrument. Uses the summed score of the 11 items to assess patients’ level of withdrawal and make inferences about their level of physical dependence on opioids.

Measures 11 signs and symptoms commonly seen in patients during narcotic withdrawal. This scale can help gauge the severity of the symptoms and monitor changes in clinical status over time.

Assess patient withdrawal symptoms.

Assesses the presence of withdrawal symptoms from opioids using a 9-point scale to describe how the patient has been feeling in the past 24 hours.

Contains 13 physically observable signs, rated present or absent, based on a rater’s timed observation of the patient.

Reviews three FDA-approved medications for OUD treatment (methadone, naltrexone, and buprenorphine) and the other strategies and services needed to support people in recovery.

Equips clinicians with practical guidance and tools for treating chronic pain in adults with a history of substance abuse. Discusses chronic pain management, including treatment with opioids, and offers information about substance abuse assessments and referrals.
