Why Use Medication for Opioid Use Disorder Treatment?
Addiction to opioids can lead to physical changes in the brain, changing the circuits responsible for mood, pleasure and reward responses. After the body has become dependent on an opioid, it can be very painful to live without it (withdrawal).
Approved and prescribed medications help by replacing the opioid with a legal substitute (which is monitored closely by medical professionals). This helps lower the physical need for illicit opioids so a person can function normally.
Will I have to be on Methadone or Suboxone forever?
Each individual’s treatment plan is unique and depends on a variety of factors. At CODAC, we believe medication assisted treatment is only one part of recovery and it does not need to be a lifelong treatment.
- Long-Term Detoxification Treatment (31 to 180 Days) — Long-term detoxification treatment focuses on methadone medication treatment with a monitored regimen of daily dosing. Patients are regularly monitored and tapered off methadone within 180 days. Members are expected to attend therapy and support groups to enhance their recovery.
- Methadone Maintenance Treatment (12+ Months) — Methadone Maintenance Treatment can last from weeks to years depending on the individual. People in Methadone Maintenance Treatment should be stable with their dose. Members will continue to meet with therapists, recovery coaches, and peer support specialists and attend groups. The focus during this period is counseling, relapse prevention and harm reduction.
Do you have treatment programs for pregnant & postpartum women?
Yes! CODAC is experienced in providing the safest solutions for pregnant and postpartum women with opioid use disorders. With many options available at CODAC, we’re best prepared to offer pregnant women the best treatment that’s safest for them and the child they’re carrying.

About the Medications
Methadone
It has been found that when prescribed with therapy and other supportive services, methadone used in place of heroin, morphine, oxycontin and other opioids produces positive changes in motivation and social functioning.
At CODAC, methadone is provided in liquid form on a daily basis. It is given by Licensed Practical Nurses.
Buprenorphine (Subutex)
This medication helps a patient feel normal, not high.
Suboxone (Buprenorphine + Naloxone)
Like the other medications, it is used to treat opioid addiction under the direction of a doctor and alongside therapy and other structured support. Suboxone is intended to be a short-term treatment.
Individuals typically only use suboxone for one year or less.
Naltrexone (Vivitrol or ReVia)
Vivitrol is a long-acting injection. ReVia is an immediate release pill taken orally.
