Abstract
Many opioid-dependent patients do not receive care for addiction issues when hospitalized for other medical problems. Based on 3 years of clinical practice, we report the Transitional Opioid Program (TOP) experience using hospitalization as a “reachable moment” to identify and link opioid-dependent persons to addiction treatment from medical care.Keywords
