Are there any alternative treatments for Opiate Dependence ?

YES, Buprenorphine was approved by the FDA in 2002 as the first medication for treating opioid dependence available for use in office-based settings through implementation of DATA 2000 and through opioid treatment programs. Multiple studies have shown that Buprenorphine is a safe and effective alternative to methadone for managing opioid dependence, and is a particularly effective option for patients with prior, not current, methadone experience.
