• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  Heroin was developed and intended to address morphine addiction, and methadone and buprenorphine aim to address heroin and/or fentanyl (or really any opioid) addiction. Still, each pharmacological entity certainly comes with its own pitfalls. In this discussion, we will review the key clinical practice concepts and patient counseling points stemming from the pharmacology of the medication-assisted treatment options of buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone. All MAT, as with all medications in general, are continually improving and savings lives, yet each come with their own baggage. Thus, we, as healthcare professionals, need to continually educate ourselves and each other in this realm.
