I have a different perspective on buprenorphine - I believe it’s useful but certainly not for life. I remember Salavitz’ promotion of opioids for CNCP denying addiction is possible when someone is using opioids for CNCP; so her credibility is no good in my world. I do believe in positive regard and support for lifestyle change necessary to recover, and treating it lifelong. Bupe is a big pharma drug and - like all opioids - will continue to be a big seller. Methadone has better outcomes and is cheaper. Bupe is overhyped and should be used cautiously. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-obtains-14-billion-reckitt-benckiser-group-largest-recovery-case
