The recommendations do not apply to pain related to sickle cell disease or cancer or to patients receiving palliative or end-of-life care. Usage: Medication treatment of opioid use disorder has been associated with reduced risk for overdose and overall deaths. Identification of opioid use disorder represents an opportunity for a clinician to initiate potentially life-saving interventions, and the clinician should collaborate with the patient regarding their safety to increase the likelihood of successful treatment.

For patients diagnosed with opioid use disorder, consider opioid agonist or partial agonist treatment with methadone or buprenorphine maintenance therapy. Detoxification on its own, without medications for opioid use disorder, is not recommended for opioid use disorder because of increased risks of resuming drug use, overdose, and overdose death. For guidance regarding diagnosing and treating opioid use disorder, see [Recommendation 12 of the 2022 CDC Clinical Practice Guideline](https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/rr/rr7103a1.htm#:~:text=evidence%20type%3A%201).-,Implementation%20Considerations,-Although%20stigma%20can).

[Do not use the calculated dose in MMEs to determine the doses to use when converting one opioid to another; when converting opioids, the new opioid is typically dosed at a substantially lower dose than the calculated MME dose to avoid overdose because of incomplete cross-tolerance and individual variability in opioid pharmacokinetics](https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/rr/rr7103a1.htm#:~:text=Do%20not%20use%20the,variability%20in%20opioid%20pharmacokinetics.). Consult the FDA approved product labeling for specific guidance on medications.
Check whether the patient is 18 or older with an active condition of opioid misuse disorder and doesn't have an active prescription (order) for buprenorphine or methadone medications.
