Emergency department research meeting: Advancing ED-initiated buprenorphine.

The NIDA CCTN convened stakeholders, experts, and federal staff to discuss and identify research and other efforts needed to continue to improve care for people with opioid use disorder and other substance use disorders in emergency settings. An aspirational goal is for ED-initiated buprenorphine to be the standard of care in every emergency department across the United States.
