In this Double Take video from the New England Journal of Medicine and NEJM Knowledge+, L.J. Punch (the T St. Louis, a harm-reduction program), Sarah Bagley (Boston Medical Center), Jennifer Foreman (Randolph Health Medical Group), and Scott Hadland (Massachusetts General Hospital for Children) review how primary care providers can best care for patients with opioid use disorder. They guide clinicians on how to diagnose the disorder, build trust with patients, offer counseling on harm reduction, and use medications to treat addiction and withdrawal symptoms. They also emphasize the importance of reducing stigma to improve therapeutic alliances with this patient population.
