Methadone

A medication that is primarily used in the treatment of opioid use disorder. It is a synthetic opioid that works by binding to the same receptors in the brain that are targeted by other opioids, such as heroin or prescription pain medications. However, unlike these drugs of abuse, methadone is long-acting and can help to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing the same euphoric effects. One unique feature of Methadone is that it has a long half-life, which means that it remains active in the body for a longer period of time than other opioids. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with opioid use disorder, as it can help to alleviate cravings and withdrawal symptoms without the need for frequent dosing.

Buprenorphine with naloxone

A prescription drug that combines buprenorphine and naloxone, used to treat opioid dependency. The buprenorphine component helps alleviate symptoms of withdrawal, while the naloxone component reverses the effects of opioids.

Medications for HIV treatment

Refer to the use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) medications to manage and treat HIV infection in individuals who are also receiving treatment for substance use disorders. HIV treatment pharmacotherapies can be a critical component of drug treatment programs for individuals who are living with HIV and substance use disorders. These medications can help to reduce the viral load in the body and prevent the progression of HIV to AIDS, improving overall health outcomes and quality of life for individuals with HIV.

Clonidine

A medication that is primarily used in the treatment of high blood pressure. However, it is also used off-label to manage withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid use disorder. Clonidine is not a controlled substance, unlike other medications used for withdrawal management, such as methadone or buprenorphine. This can be an advantage in some settings like Kensington Hospital, as it can be prescribed more easily and may be less stigmatizing for individuals seeking treatment.

Medication for mental disorders

Refers to the use of medications to manage and treat various mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. These medications can help to alleviate symptoms, improve quality of life, and increase overall functioning in individuals with mental health conditions.

Nicotine replacement

A form of treatment that delivers nicotine to the body through alternative means, excluding tobacco, and without the presence of harmful chemicals. Nicotine replacement therapy usually takes the form of nicotine patches, gum or lozenges, nasal spray, or inhaler, aimed at curbing cravings and helping a person quit tobacco use.
