What is medication-assisted treatment?
Medication-Assisted Treatment is a commonly used way of referring to treatment for substance use disorders using medication to help ease symptoms of withdrawal and reduce drug and alcohol cravings. Medical treatment using FDA-approved medication is highly-effective, first-line treatment that reduces overdose risk and improves addiction-specific outcomes.
Benefits of Treatment with Suboxone®
Medical treatment of substance use disorders is critical to prevent overdose and death. Research shows that with proper treatment, recovery is possible for most patients. Patients will typically see major improvements in withdrawal symptoms, cravings and use within their first week of treatment.
Why Suboxone®?
1. |
Suboxone® is safe |
When taken as directed, Buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone®) is commonly viewed as a safer alternative to methadone, with a reduced likelihood of sedation and overdose. |
2. |
Suboxone® is effective |
For most patients, the suggested effective dose can be attained within 1-2 days without risk, whereas effective methadone dosing is inconsistent among individuals and may require weeks to accomplish. |
3. |
Suboxone® is easily available |
Medical practitioners who are licensed and trained can prescribe Buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone®) in any treatment environment, while methadone is subject to strict regulation and can only be dispensed by federally and state licensed opioid treatment programs. The standardization of care at such programs restricts the customization of treatment. |
