According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine:
Relative to outpatient, abstinence-oriented drug addiction treatment, office-based outpatient treatment (OBOT) with buprenorphine improves six-month treatment engagement, significantly reduces cravings, illicit opioid use and mortality and improves psychosocial outcomes…
Extended-release injectable naltrexone can essentially eliminate the rewarding effects of self-administered opioids, thereby dramatically reducing opioid use and opioid-related health and social problems.”
