Nurses have always played a key role in the treatment of substance use disorders, and with the passage of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016 (which extends prescribing authority to NPs within the scope of state laws), their contributions have become even more critical. In today’s discussion, we’ll explore how nurses and nurse practitioners can help expand patient access to needed medications for the treatment of Opioid Use Disorder, or OUD. We’ll also highlight the benefits of employing a collaborative care approach to facilitate access to opioid therapy with buprenorphine in an office-based setting.
