One of the barriers for those needing relief from opioid abuse, is the symptoms experienced during acute detox. This phase of recovery can be extremely distressful for the patient and is one of the main reasons treatment is not usually completed or successful. In my opinion, the Bridge device offers immediate relief and could prove to be extremely beneficial to those going through opioid detox especially those who previously had negative outcomes due to poor symptom management. ]]> 2022-02-18 05:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/chanaecypress/Bookmarks/wish/2054665714 References chanaecypress https://padlet.com/chanaecypress/Bookmarks/wish/2054681103 Mannelli, P., Swartz, M., & Wu, L.-T.
