What are some treatment options to stop opiate abuse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Buprenorphine helps: Opiate addiction may be treated quite effectively with the combination of Buprenorphine (suboxone) and psychosocial support. The longer the treatment lasts, the more likely recovery is sustained. Mutual support helps; consider attending a meeting of narcotics anonymous.
