Opioids are derived from the poppy plant and include a long list of drugs:
- heroin
- fentanyl
- opium
- codeine
- oxycodone
- hydrocodone
- hydromorphone
- morphine

Another popular product, kratom, has opioid-like properties and can sometimes create similar addictive problems as other opioids.

Several medications are known to be very effective in treating opioid use disorder, especially the following:
- buprenorphine (Suboxone, Sublocade, Brixadi)
- naltrexone (Vivitrol)
- methadone

Of these, Suboxone is the easiest to access.  At Lott Behavioral Health, we offer all of these except methadone (which must be dispensed from a specially licensed methadone clinic).  As one of the first Suboxone doctors in this area, Dr. Lott has made it a high priority to continue to offer Suboxone treatment in the office setting with the easiest process possible - starting treatment in a regular office or even at home when appropriate.
