Why People Fail at Addiction Treatment? The success rates for addiction medications can be difficult to understand, especially when trying to find the best treatment option for a loved one. The reason for this confusion stems from the way in which health professionals speak about success due to the strategies they employ. Maintenance Therapy Strategy. Maintenance therapy refers to the action of substituting a drug of abuse with an alternate therapy that binds to the same receptors, reducing the feelings of euphoria and cravings. These are typically achieved through drugs such as methadone and buprenorphine. Reduction Strategy. Reduction strategies employ the use of the same maintenance drug therapies with the intention of tapering and discontinuing the maintenance therapy. Reduction therapies are typically a goal for all patients with substance use disorders since maintenance therapies may precipitate their own respective side effects such increased anxiety, psychological dependence, and changes in mood. A Possible Solution to Addiction Naltrexone blocks the opioid receptor, instead of stimulating it. Studies performed on Naltrexone implants have touted maintenance rates of up to 80% after 6 months of therapy, and a 65% retention after 1 year of treatment. For 6 months after discharge 55.4% still returned for their follow up visits and remained abstinent to opioids. 7 The result of studies of implantable naltrexone tend to show that the success rate of implantable naltrexone is much greater than that of other medication alternatives when withdrawing the treatment.
