Buprenorphine Treatment

Buprenorphine Treatment is an effective, safe medication approved for use in the treatment of opioid addiction. It relieves withdrawal, reduces cravings, and blocks the effects of heroin in ways similar to methadone. It can be used short-term for detox or long-term as a maintenance medication.

Similar to methadone, the person who takes buprenorphine feels normal, not high.

​

Buprenorphine provides several benefits:

• Reduces or eliminates cravings for heroin or other opioid drugs
• Prevents withdrawal
• Blocks the effects of other opioids
• Reduces the risk of overdose
• Supports increased physical and emotional health
• Increases the overall quality of life for the patient
