Pain management for patients on long acting naltrexone - Vivitrol

The use of long acting naltrexone is increasing in our community and is under consideration for formulary addition at our facility. How are other facilities dealing with these patients when they come in for emergent surgeries or trauma? We do not have a pain team unfortunately. Any sharing of protocols or procedures would be appreciated.

Thank you
Jeff Ferber, PharmD, MSO
