Find Methadone Treatment Near Mooresville IN
Research shows that those who receive addiction treatment with buprenorphine, methadone, or Vivitrol are twice as likely to stay in treatment and reach long-term recovery than those who don't receive medication.
Vivitrol isn't a narcotic, and it isn't diverted. SAMHSA discovered that 23,000 people have used Vivitrol to treat their opioid addiction. Vivitrol is a long-acting, injectable medication. It was approved in 2010 by the FDA and can be prescribed by any physician without requiring a license.
Buprenorphine is often sold on the black market and is highly sought after by active opioid users. This is especially true for those who wish to abstain or avoid withdrawal symptoms. Advocates of greater prescribing the medication believe that most buprenorphine misuse is due to the drug's restricted access through legal means.
