Buprenorphine (Suboxone)
Suboxone is the most widely prescribed MAT medication in Georgia. It reduces opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing euphoria. Prescribed by certified physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, Suboxone can be taken at home after initial stabilization. Many Georgia providers now offer same-day or next-day Suboxone starts.
Naltrexone (Vivitrol)
Vivitrol is a monthly injectable that blocks opioid and alcohol effects entirely. Unlike Suboxone, naltrexone is not a controlled substance and carries no abuse potential. It works best for individuals who have completed detox and are motivated to maintain abstinence. Georgia clinics offer Vivitrol injections typically covered by insurance.
Methadone
Methadone is dispensed through federally regulated Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) in Georgia. It is the gold standard for severe opioid use disorder and requires daily clinic visits initially, with take-home privileges earned over time. Methadone has the longest track record of any MAT medication, with over 50 years of research supporting its effectiveness.
