Dosage of Methadone in the Hospital
There is a state in the United States that does not have any opioid treatment programs for methadone. So if you're in that state like ramping someone's methadone up really quickly in the hospitals probably not the best thing to do because you have to figure out how to taper them off before they leave. Figure out kind of or try to partner with some of the opioid treatment programs in the area so that you can ramp up a dose in the hospital and then they can go to the opioid treatment program on that stabilized dose.
