AB - This project reviewed the literature on methadone and buprenorphine treatment for opioid addiction. Methadone and buprenorphine have been widely studied and researched and the findings consistently suggested that methadone and buprenorphine are medically safe and effective treatment for opioid addiction. Methadone and buprenorphine reduce and/or eliminate the use of heroin, illicit opiates, reduce death rates, and criminality associated with heroin use, and allow individuals to improve their health and social productivity. Study after study continued to prove the efficacy of methadone and buprenorphine for opioid addiction. Medication assisted treatment such as methadone and buprenorphine have a role in clinical social work practice and should be viewed by providers as another treatment option for individuals struggling with opioid addiction. The potential implication for social work clinical practice is that medication-assisted treatment is a viable treatment option for individuals with an opioid addiction.
