This is not an extensive review of withdrawal or addiction medicine but rather a focused group of documents to assist WMS providers when limited medical staffing is available.
Findings/Key points
This manual is broken down into useful chunks of information for quick reference in various scenarios. Includes clinical information, screening tools, sample policies, etc.
