In medicine, opiate dependence is dependency, both both physiological and emotional, upon opioid analgesics.[1]

Treatment

Opioid agonist therapy includes buprenorphine and methadone. Although buprenorphinenaloxone may be less effective than methadone[2], it has more predictable dosing[3], and can be prescribed by qualifying office-based physicians.[4]

Advice for the treatment of acute pain among patients on chronic methadone or buprenorphine is available.[5]
