Findings/Key points
Although rare, lack of evidence on how to best treat precipitated opioid withdrawal (POW) threatens clinician and patient comfort in initiating life-saving medication for opioid use disorder. Ketamine has been used in emergency department settings to treat POW; this is the first case report of ketamine use in a hospitalized patient.
