Our latest @BridgeToTx in @JAMANetworkOpen: in our retrospective analysis of ED bup starts, 89% received a first dose of at least 8 mg, precip withdrawal was rare, and follow up was similar in those who did and did not self report fent use. High dose ED bup starts are a key tool!

The folks @HGHED and @BridgeToTx invited me to spend a day at the Highland Bridge Clinic, where they taught me about SUD, introduced me to patients, and explained the nuances of meth use and harm reduction work. @amirazizphotos took some great pics of the clinic in action.
