Lead: Evaluation of a Novel Patient-Centered Methadone Restart Protocol

Evaluation of a Novel Patient-Centered Methadone Restart Protocol 🔓

JAMA Network Open

Restarting methadone for patients who have had a gap in treatment is often a frustratingly slow process for both the patient and provider. This cohort study of individuals examined outcomes for patients of a public, safety-net opioid treatment program before (n=786 patients) and after (n=780 patients) implementation of a 2022 clinical protocol focused on individualized methadone restart doses based on opioid tolerance. Preimplementation restart doses were 32.8% lower than the last prior methadone dose, whereas postimplementation restart doses were only 3.4% lower than the last prior methadone dose. There was no significant change in patient safety (emergency department visits within 7 days after restart and all-cause mortality within 7 and 90 days after restart) or 90-day retention in care.
