1 - Introduction
Opioid use disorder is often a chronic relapsing condition associated with increased prevalence of morbidity and mortality. Despite this, with appropriate treatment and follow-ups, patients can still achieve a sustained long-term remission. This guideline is developed to provide health care professionals in Al Masarra Hospital (AMRH) with an educational tool and clinical practice recommendations primarily relevant on clinical management of patients with opioid use disorder.
