clients who are opioid dependent or opioid abusing, and are either already on or are potential candidates for MMT? - What do nurses need to know about MMT?
- What is the role of the nurse in MMT?
- How do nurses support a client, who is on or is a potential candidate for MMT, who presents for care?
