The evidence based research now states that Buprenorphine tx (suboxonne) in a medically supervised program is the number one treatment for opioid use disorders. It is not considered that “abstinance” based treatment is effective in opioid use disorders. Of course, to handle all the other issues an addict faces , supportive interventions ( housing, 12 step programs, counseling) are helpful—albeit those who are on MAT —medically assisted therapy—very often do fine without other treatments, which are often not providing any additional benefit.
