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
Patient/Physician Matching System
The NAABT Patient /Physician Matching System is a centralized list of patients from which certified buprenorphine physicians, in your area, can draw from when they have an opening. It is a more efficient way to help connect patient to physician.
