Methadone for Drug Addition
Methadone for Drug Addition
Methadone and buprenorphine, for example, are effective medications for the treatment of opiate addiction. Acting on the same targets in the brain as heroin and morphine, these medications block the drug’s effects, suppress withdrawal symptoms, and relieve craving for the drug. This helps patients in drug rehab to disengage from drug-seeking and related criminal behavior and be more receptive to behavioral treatments.
