TUESDAY, Nov. 4 (HealthDay News) — Teens treated for addiction to heroin or prescription painkillers are less likely to continue using these drugs if they receive extended treatment with a combination of detoxification medications, rather than short-term drug therapy, a new study found.

Both buprenorphine and naloxone have been shown to be effective in treating opioid addiction, but only limited use of these drugs has been recommended for younger patients. Buprenorphine works by relieving withdrawal symptoms and naloxone prevents or reverses the effects of injected opioids.

“If you keep these young kids, average one-and-a-half years of addiction, on buprenorphine-naloxone they did a lot better,” said lead study author Dr. George Woody, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Psychiatry. “When you took them off the buprenorphine-naloxone, their opioid use went up.”
