They use cocaine or methamphetamine a few times a week to stay energized at work, and occasionally use cannabis to help with sleep. They report improvements in mood, relationships, and day-to-day functioning, and say, "This is the best I’ve felt in years. I’m finally stable." The patient has no interest in stopping these substances right now. How would you approach this situation? (Choose the responses that best reflect your clinical philosophy in this scenario.) * Explain that continued drug use indicates they are not ready for buprenorphine treatment. Recommend a more structured or abstinence-focused program. Acknowledge their progress but express concern. Set clear expectations that substance use must decrease to stay in care. Provide education about risks of continued use and help the patient set goals for eventual reduction. Validate the patient’s progress, support their autonomy, and continue prescribing buprenorphine while discussing safer use strategies. Recognize that current substance use may be contributing to the patient’s stability. Continue care while supporting safety, engagement, and ongoing collaboration. Please share how your values or clinical framework shaped your response to the scenario above. * How many years of experience do you have regularly prescribing buprenorphine products for opioid use disorder in an independent capacity?

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Veteran Status Select... Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305 Page 1 of 1 OMB Control Number 1250-0005 Expires 07/31/2029 Why are you being asked to complete this form? We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years. Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
