Opioid use disorder is a problem that keeps worsening and has far-reaching implications. Abuse of prescription medications, which is the root cause of U.S. opioid misuse, has impacted almost every group and demography. According to the 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health conducted by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 11.2 percent of Americans, or 30.5 million people, reported using illegal substances in the previous 30 days. Through medication-assisted therapy, many people successfully resolve their opioid addiction and dependency (MAT). MAT is a treatment for addiction that combines drugs licensed by the FDA with behavioral therapy. When patients are looking for therapy, MAT combined with Suboxone should be considered an effective technique for treating opioid use disorder.
