(CTN 0030)

Description

This is a randomized outpatient study for subjects dependent on prescription opioid analgesics. The primary objective is to determine whether the addition of individual drug counseling to the prescription of buprenorphine/naloxone (BUP/NX) along with Standard Medical Management (SMM) improves outcome both during a) an initial four week treatment with tape and b) a 12 week stabilization treatment for those who do not respond successfully to the initial treatment with taper.
