In the general hospital setting, the prevalence of injection drug use is high, patients who otherwise might not seek care are accessible, and the presence of a drug- related illness can set the stage for patients to be more receptive to interventions (Stein, 1999). In the present study we suggest that initiation of Suboxone (buprenorphine\/naloxone ) during hospitalization, and linkage to maintenance Suboxone in office-based practices after hospital discharge will enhance HIV risk reduction among opioid dependent drug users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Principal Investigator Michael D.
