Is Methadone the Most Effective Medication for Opioid Use Disorder?

Once we've made the diagnosis, developed patient trust, we have great options. Methadone is our longest sort of longest known medication. The second option that I'd like to discuss with patients is buprenorphine. It is typically co-formulated with naloxone in its sublingual form. And that's a medication that we can prescribe in the primary care clinic.
