Happy new year!
META:PHI is very excited to announce the release of several new resources:
- Recommendations for the use of slow-release oral morphine as opioid agonist therapy: Bringing together published evidence and both clinical and experiential expertise, these recommendations are intended to guide prescribers in the use of slow-release oral morphine (SROM, brand name Kadian) as opioid agonist therapy (OAT).
- Slow-release oral morphine as opioid agonist therapy: Plain language summary: A summary of the recommendations, intended for patients interested in learning about SROM as OAT.
- Opioid agonist therapy decision aid tool: A tool for patients to use with their health care providers to help them decide what opioid agonist therapy (OAT) option would be best for them: sublingual buprenorphine (Suboxone), depot buprenorphine (Sublocade), methadone, or slow-release oral morphine (Kadian).
- Toolkit for alcohol-related presentations to the emergency department: This toolkit was created for clinicians working in the emergency department (ED). These tools address the effective treatment of alcohol withdrawal, management of other alcohol-related presentations, brief counselling interventions, initiation of anti-craving medications, and referral to community resources.
All of these documents can be downloaded from our Resource Library.
