Frequently Asked Questions
What is Opioid Use Disorder?
A serious health problem that can affect your emotions and social life caused by your inability to stop using opioids such as prescription pain killers, heroin, and fentanyl.
What is Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT, also called MOUD)?
A treatment approach that combines medication with counseling and behavioral therapies. It acknowledges that medication is just one piece of the puzzle, and successful recovery also involves addressing the underlying causes of your addiction while developing healthy coping mechanisms.
What medications treat Opioid Use Disorder?
They are the FDA-approved medication–like Buprenorphine and Naltrexone–to help you manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings for opioids. They make it easier for you to stay in treatment and focus on your recovery.
Buprenorphine – helps with cravings and withdrawal by partially blocking the effect of other opioids, lessens withdrawal symptoms, and reduces cravings. You can obtain buprenorphine from an approved prescriber at low-cost, which means you don’t have to take it under direct supervision at a clinic.
Naltrexone – blocks the effects of opioids stops the feeling of being “high.” Because it is not an opioid, there is no potential for abuse. This helps prevent relapse and, when taken as a monthly shot, requires fewer visits to the clinic.
Methadone – alleviates withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with severe Opioid Use Disorder but can be addictive if misused. Our clinics do not currently offer methadone.
