Despite over 10 years of office-based treatment for opioid dependence, the optimal dose for buprenorphine therapy is still not known. In this focus session we will review existing evidence from the literature about the relationship between buprenorphine dose and treatment outcomes. We will then share results from our recent study that specifically addressed this question. We will then conclude with a discussion about optimal buprenorphine dosing for outpatient practice and methods for studying it.
