Methadone is a long-acting opioid medication that prevents withdrawal symptoms and reduces cravings without causing euphoria. It has been the gold standard for opioid addiction treatment for decades. Methadone allows patients to stabilize their lives while gradually working toward recovery.
Long-term, high-dose opioid users; strong physical dependence; those who cannot tolerate Suboxone®
Daily pharmacy dosing; progressive take-home doses; decades of proven effectiveness
Suboxone® contains buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist that is often preferred for its superior safety profile and faster dose stabilization. The "ceiling effect" makes it significantly safer from overdose, and many patients benefit from fewer side effects and greater flexibility in treatment.
Patients wanting faster stabilization within a week; moderate opioid use disorder; safety-conscious patients
Ceiling effect for safety; earlier take-home access; fewer side effects for many patients
Kadian® is a slow-release oral morphine formulation (SROM) designed specifically for treating severe opioid addiction. This specialized treatment is reserved for patients who have not responded adequately to first-line treatments like Suboxone® or methadone.
Failed previous treatments; severe withdrawal persisting despite other medications; complex cases
Second-line treatment; stricter monitoring; prescribed only by experienced addiction physicians
We provide comprehensive medical management for alcohol use disorder, including assessment, medication management (Naltrexone, Acamprosate, Disulfiram), safe withdrawal management, and referrals to counseling and support services.
