Opioids and treatment options
Learn about opioids and the medications used to treat opioid use disorder.
What opioids include
Opioids include substances such as heroin, fentanyl, opium, codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, and morphine. Some other substances, including kratom, can have opioid-like effects and may be associated with similar problems.
Medication categories
Medications used to treat opioid use disorder include buprenorphine products, extended-release naltrexone, and methadone.
At Lott Behavioral Health, we offer buprenorphine and naltrexone options. Methadone for opioid use disorder must be dispensed through a separately licensed opioid treatment program and is not offered at our office.
Care at Lott Behavioral Health
We provide evaluations at our Lisle office and offer telehealth for patients in Illinois when appropriate. Your clinician will review your history and discuss medication options before treatment begins.
Opioid withdrawal and medication initiation can carry serious risks and should be managed with qualified clinical guidance.
