Navigating treatment transitions: Enhancing outpatient recovery with morphine milligram equivalent (MME) dosing in methadone to buprenorphine transition—Case reports

MME low-dose initiations appear to be a feasible and safe method for BUP/NLX induction. Further research involving patients on higher methadone doses and larger sample sizes, along prospective designs, is necessary to validate these findings and explore the long-term effectiveness and safety of MME-guided induction protocols across various clinical settings.

Abstract

MME low-dose initiations appear to be a feasible and safe method for BUP/NLX induction. Further research involving patients on higher methadone doses and larger sample sizes, along prospective designs, is necessary to validate these findings and explore the long-term effectiveness and safety of MME-guided induction protocols across various clinical settings.
