Opioid Use Disorder Treatment

Addiction to cocaine is a growing problem in the United States. The detrimentral physiologic aspects of addiction require that certain precautions be observed during dental care to avoid a morbid reaction or a possible fatality. The adverse psychological and social aspects of addiction must also be understood by the dentist in order to properly manage this troubled group of patients.
