Individuals with self-reported medical or psychiatric factors that would increase the risk if severity of their withdrawal symptoms and thus extended monitoring and evaluation would be required.once a participant shows signs and symptoms of withdrawal, the initiation of induction into withdrawal management can begin, if deemed medically appropriate. The goal of induction is to safely suppress opioid withdrawal as quickly as possible with adequate dosages of buprenorphine (subutex) and help the client achieve medical stabilization. Net's 23-hour observation program utilizes clinically trained nursing staff to make an appropriate level of care determination and facilitate a seamless transition into the next appropriate level of care (loc).
