NAABT

The National Alliance of Advocates for Buprenorphine Treatment (NAABT) has a website with a lot of educational material to help understand opioid dependence and addiction.  It also includes some excellent materials that help to explain how Suboxone® and buprenorphine treatment works. Please see the links below to some of the key pages.

Naloxone

Naloxone (Narcan, Evzio) is a prescription medication that will reverse an overdose to opioids. The State of Maryland has been very aggressive at promoting the accessibility to naloxone.
