They use cocaine or methamphetamine a few times a week to stay energized at work, and occasionally use cannabis to help with sleep.

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.
