Abstract

Systematically assessing and monitoring withdrawal symptoms is clinically important.. As part of the development of an online collection of commonly used AOD screening tools, a desktop review of the Subjective Opioid Withdrawal Scale (SOWS) was conducted to ascertain appropriate populations, diagnostics, clinical utility, resources and knowledge gaps. This overview is the result of that review.
