SAMHSA released last month the manual, Buprenorphine: A Guide for Nurses. The guide is #30 in the Technical Assistance Publication (TAP) series released by SAMHSA’s Knowledge Application Program (KAP). TAPs are compilations from various sources that provide practical guidance and information related to the delivery of treatment services to individuals with alcohol and drug abuse disorders. This publication covers Buprenorphine and the role of nurse, precipitated withdrawal and withdrawal symptoms, treatment protocols, and more.
