Medication Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder
Medication treatment is an evidence-based approach to opioid use disorder that combines appropriate medication with ongoing medical care and behavioral support.
Buprenorphine is an FDA-approved medication used to treat opioid use disorder. Suboxone® contains buprenorphine and naloxone.
Buprenorphine can reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms and cravings and can help patients maintain stability while working toward longer-term recovery.
Medication is prescribed only after an appropriate medical evaluation and when clinically indicated. Treatment plans are individualized and require ongoing follow-up and monitoring.
