In this episode of EM Pulse, Dr. Daniel Hernandez, an emergency medicine and addiction specialist at UC Davis, joins the team to spotlight methadone—one of the original and still powerful tools for treating opioid use disorder (OUD). While newer medications like buprenorphine often steal the spotlight, methadone remains a critical option, especially in the era of fentanyl. Tune in for a practical conversation on when and how to initiate methadone in the ED, navigating regulatory barriers, arranging follow-up at opioid treatment programs, and managing pain in patients already on methadone. Whether you’re new to methadone or looking to sharpen your approach, this episode offers real-world insights and actionable pearls
