definition: There are currently three Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved opioid agonist treatments for opioid addiction, which include methadone hydrochloride, buprenorphine hydrochloride, and levo-alpha acetyl methadol (LAAM). All three of these drugs are long-acting opioids, which bind to opioid receptors and thus block opioids from binding to these receptors.
