This medicine attaches to opioid receptors and reverses and blocks the effects of other opioids. Naloxone can quickly restore normal breathing to a person if their breathing has slowed or stopped because of an opioid overdose.Naltrexone.Buprenorphine.Counseling is part of treatment: Opioid addiction impacts a person’s behaviors. Counseling can help people deal with those behaviors and emotions often linked to addiction. It can also teach long-term coping skills for stress and help people start positive routines.
