Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by compulsive, or uncontrollable, use despite harmful consequences and changes in the brain, which can be long-lasting. These changes in the brain can lead to the harmful behaviors seen in people who use drugs. Drug addiction is also a relapsing disease. Relapse is the return to drug use after an attempt to stop. Because addiction is a chronic disease, people can’t simply stop using drugs for a few days and be cured. Most patients need long-term or repeated care to stop using completely and recover their lives.

Deflection is an alternative to arresting people who might otherwise enter the justice system or receive no assistance to address their needs. -definition courtesy of the Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network.
Oregon’s HB 4002 was signed on April 1, encouraging law enforcement to engage in deflection. A $20M grant program was established to support new deflection programs.
Medication Assisted Treatment and Recovery (MAT)
MAT can ease withdrawal and psychological craving which can be helpful in the withdrawal and recover process. How do you escape from the lifestyle and risks of drug addiction? A powerful method that is becoming more popular is medication assisted treatment.
MAT Includes:
- Medication
- Counseling
- Education
- Support from family, friends, and peers
Substance User Disorder
Substance use disorder is a disease not a weakness. Medication, counseling, and support from family and peers can be essential parts of a successful recovery plan. The goal of medication assisted treatment is to recover from your addiction. It does NOT replace one drug with another. It offers a controlled medication to overcome the use of a problem opioid.
What is Buprenorphine?
Buprenorphine is a type of medication used for treatment of opioid use disorders. It is a partial agonist that binds to opioid receptors in the brain and helps suppress withdrawal and cravings.
Counseling
Medication is part of treatment for opioid use disorder. For many people, counseling is just as important. The opportunity to speak with a professional either one on one or in a group with others receiving treatment is extremely beneficial.
Recovery is Possible
Recover is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive reach their full potential. MAT can be an effective tool in this process.
