The National Alliance of Advocates
for Buprenorphine Treatment
Buprenorphine (Suboxone®, Subutex®) is an opioid medication used to treat opioid
addiction in the privacy of a physician's office.1 Buprenorphine can be dispensed
for take-home use, by prescription.1 This, in addition to the pharmacological
and safety
profile of buprenorphine, makes it an attractive treatment for patients addicted to opioids.2
About Us
DonateThe National Alliance of Advocates for Buprenorphine Treatment is a non-profit organization charged with the mission to:
- Educate the public about the disease of opioid addiction and the buprenorphine treatment option.

- Serve as a conduit connecting patients in need of treatment to qualified treatment providers.

Voluntary Discloser:
Funding for this organization is provided by anonymous donors whose lives were touched by evidence-based addiction treatment and were willing to contribute to the cause. In past years NAABT, Inc. has also asked for and received funding from pharmaceutical companies in the form of “Unrestricted Educational Grants.” The grants were “unrestricted” so that there were no “strings” attached. NAABT, Inc. has complete control over how funds are used, there are no restrictions on the content or mission of this site, and donors have no control over the content of the site or NAABT’s activities. NAABT, Inc. is solely responsible for all of its activities. We provide a source for educational information, plus a tool for helping patients connect with physicians.
We will strive to remain a non biased, reputable, and accurate source for those seeking information on evidence-based addiction treatments. Buprenorphine is not a cure nor a miracle medication, but a new and effective tool in fighting opioid addiction. Medication is only a small part of a comprehensive recovery plan.
We at NAABT wish you and your loved ones the very best in treatment and in life. Let us know if we can help you further.
