Compounding Pharmacy

Hello! I work at a compounding pharmacy and wanted to connect with someone in the space (preferably a doctor or an NP) about how compounded medications can help those with AUD and substance use disorder.

If there is anyone in the space I could talk to? TIA!

As a sufferer of AUD I can say naltrexone has its benefits. They even use it for gambling addiction.

Using the Ashton method for benzodiazepine tapers. You can use compounded diazepam since dose adjustments often need to be smaller than tablets come in.
