Frequently Asked Questions
About Opioid Addiction Treatment
The opioid epidemic represents one of the most serious public health crises in modern American history. Whether struggling with prescription opioid dependence, heroin addiction, or fentanyl use, specialized treatment incorporating medication-assisted treatment (MAT) provides the most effective path to recovery.
The Opioid Crisis
Opioid addiction affects people from all walks of life. Many individuals initially received opioid prescriptions for legitimate pain management, only to develop physical dependence and addiction. Others have turned to heroin or illicitly manufactured fentanyl. Regardless of how addiction began, effective treatment is available and recovery is possible.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
MAT is the gold standard for opioid addiction treatment, combining FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies. Research consistently shows MAT significantly improves outcomes, reduces overdose deaths by more than 50%, and helps people stay in treatment longer.
FDA-approved medications include:
- Methadone: Full opioid agonist that eliminates withdrawal and cravings; dispensed daily at certified clinics
- Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Sublocade): Partial opioid agonist available through certified physicians; reduces cravings with lower abuse potential
- Naltrexone (Vivitrol): Opioid antagonist that blocks opioid effects; requires complete detox before starting; available as monthly injection
Comprehensive Treatment Approach
Effective opioid treatment goes beyond medication alone. Quality programs integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), contingency management with rewards for negative drug tests, individual and group counseling, family education and support, relapse prevention training, and treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions.
The Fentanyl Threat
Illicitly manufactured fentanyl has dramatically increased overdose risks. This synthetic opioid is 50-100 times more potent than morphine and is increasingly mixed into heroin, cocaine, and counterfeit pills. All individuals in recovery should have access to naloxone (Narcan), the overdose reversal medication, and training on its use.
Finding Quality Opioid Treatment
Look for programs offering MAT options, experienced addiction medicine physicians, comprehensive assessment and individualized treatment planning, evidence-based therapies, family involvement opportunities, and strong aftercare planning.
