Addiction Treatment
This practice provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combined with counseling to treat opioid addiction. The goal is to prevent withdrawal, reduce cravings, and support long-term recovery.
MAT involves prescribing buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist medication. Buprenorphine binds to opioid receptors to ease withdrawal symptoms without creating a high. It is taken daily to:
- Prevent opioid withdrawal
- Reduce drug cravings
- Block the effects of illicit opioids
What is Buprenorphine?
Buprenorphine (pronounced ‘bew-pre-nor-feen’) is
an opioid prescription drug.
It is taken as a replacement in the treatment of
heroin and other opioid dependence. Replacing a
prescribed drug to treat a drug of dependence in
this way is known as pharmacotherapy. As well as
improving wellbeing by preventing physical
withdrawal, pharmacotherapy helps to stabilise the
lives of people who are dependent on heroin and
other opioids, and to reduce the harms related to
drug use.
