No. Treatment doses are stable and prescribed, they do not produce the highs and crashes of misuse, and they let people work, parent, and recover. Major health bodies consider MAT the standard of care for opioid addiction.
Buprenorphine (Suboxone) and methadone for opioid addiction, and naltrexone or acamprosate for alcohol. A prescriber matches the medication to your situation.
