Methadone
Methadone is a long-lasting, affordable medication that alleviates withdrawal symptoms and prevents cravings.
Buprenorphine is designed to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings without increasing opioid misuse potential, helping patients focus on positive behavior changes.
Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that binds to the same receptors in the brain as illicit opioids, helping alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings without the euphoric effects. This FDA-appoved medication helps restore balance in the brain while kickstarting the recovery process.
Other medication-assisted treatment options, including Suboxone®, Brixadi, and Sublocade®, feature buprenorphine as the primary active ingredient. The primary goal of buprenorphine treatment is to alleviate physical discomfort, allowing patients to focus on other aspects of their recovery journey.
With medication-assisted treatment, patients receive a comprehensive, tailored treatment plan that addresses all aspects of their addiction. Like other MAT options, buprenorphine is an effective way to help patients remain in treatment and avoid relapse. The primary benefits of buprenorphine treatment include:
Buprenorphine is available in multiple forms, from monthly injectables like Brixadi to sublingual tablets or films like Suboxone®.
Buprenorphine is designed to minimize opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms to help patients stay in treatment and avoid relapse.
Buprenorphine can be taken in weekly or monthly forms, ensuring patients have effective medication options that meet their unique needs.
By using buprenorphine medications alongside traditional counseling, patients can effectively stay in treatment longer without relapse.
