Per the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) is the use of FDA-approved medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a clinically-driven, holistic approach to the treatment of substance use disorders. MOUD often prevents or reduces opioid overdose by normalizing brain chemistry, blocking the euphoric effects of alcohol and opioids, and relieving physiological cravings. The aim of OTP is for patients to achieve stability, generally a year or more of continued participation and compliance with treatment recommendations. In addition to the FDA-approved medications (either Methadone or Buprenorphine), patients receive individual treatment planning, urinalysis testing, and referrals to community resources as needed.
