Résumé :
ENGLISH :
The motivation to develop a simple guideline for safe induction with methadone came largely from methadone-related deaths occuring during the induction phase of treatment. Clinical pearls for a safe induction are the following: 1) Very severe withdrawal signs/symptoms do not mean very high tolerance or the need for higher doses of methadone. 2) Consider use of instant opiate screens on admission with 2000 ng cut-otf. 3) Document signs/symptoms of withdrawal with at least 2 objective signs. 4) Document daily assessment during induction includding basis for decisions to increase dose.
