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.

Buprenorphine without naloxone

A medication used to treat opioid addiction by alleviating the withdrawal symptoms, which can be administered orally, through injection, as a transdermal patch, or in the form of an implant.

Lofexidine

May be used as a treatment option for individuals with opioid use disorder who are experiencing withdrawal symptoms, Lofexidine works by targeting the alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in the brain, which can help to reduce the severity of symptoms such as anxiety, agitation, and insomnia. Lofexidine is specifically designed to target opioid withdrawal symptoms, rather than the underlying addiction. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who are experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms, as it can help to reduce the discomfort associated with this stage of recovery.

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 The Brien Center, 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.

Non-nicotine smoking/tobacco cessation

Medications that work on the brain to reduce a person's desire for tobacco and are not containing nicotine are known as smoking cessation medications. Some popular examples include Bupropion (Zyban, Wellbutrin) and Nortriptyline (Pamelor). These medications are often used along with behavioral therapy or support groups for maximum efficacy in helping individuals quit smoking for the long term.
