Methadone
Methadone is an opioid used to treat pain and as maintenance therapy or to help with detoxification in people with opioid dependence. Methadone is a liquid suspension that is administered orally every 2 to 3 days and should be tapered in dosage up to a period not to exceed 6 months.
Vivitrol
Vivitrol is a medication that stops adverse brain activity induced by opioid and alcohol abuse. It is used primarily in the management of dependency for both substances. Vivitrol is an injectible drug administered intramuscularly on a once monthly basis.
Suboxone
Suboxone is a drug administered orally in either pill form or via a single sublingual film (dissolvable strip) placed under the tongue. Suboxone provides the same relief provided by methadone, with similar side effects.
