The Drug Treatment Act of 2000 permitted doctors who meet certain training qualifications to prescribe buprenorphine in the treatment of heroin addiction and other opioid addictions. Buprenorphine physicians became able to assist opioid addicted patients in an office setting bypassing the restrictions that typically apply to patients receiving methadone. This treatment method maximized patient convenience and accessibility thus increasing the number of people who could access medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction.

Over the last 20 years, opioid addiction has surfaced as a primary medical concern in the United States. Individuals from all walks of life have been subject to the risk of opioid misuse and opioid dependency. The good news is that opioid addiction is a highly treatable illness. With opioid addiction, there are medication-assisted interventions now available that have proven to be very effective. Extensive research studies have documented the clear benefits of buprenorphine in alleviating the uncomfortable physiological symptoms and mental stress of opioid withdrawal.
