2020 ASAM National Practice Guideline: Recommendations for Treating Opioid Withdrawal2

The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) recognizes two main strategies for managing opioid withdrawal: gradually tapering the dose of the current opioid(s), or using a non-opioid medication, like LUCEMYRA (lofexidine).
Regarding the use of alpha-2 adrenergic agonists, the Guideline states:

“Lofexidine should therefore be the preferred choice for withdrawal management in an outpatient setting, where monitoring of blood pressure and management of hypotension is more difficult.”

-American Society of Addiction Medicine, 2020
