Abstract
A recent study comparing the effectiveness of buprenorphine and methadone found that the risk of discontinuation was greater with buprenorphine than methadone. For the study, the researchers looked at a retrospective cohort of patients via databases in British Columbia, Canada. The study covered a total of 30,891 patients, who received treatment from 2010 to 2020.
