> This is just like how the methadone companies lobbied to keep buprenorphine from being approved for opioid dependence, as it could be used as a take-home med with fewer restrictions. It also is a a safer drug with fewer side effects, etc. That lobby coupled with the vicious puritain "addicts must suffer" mentality resulted in buprenorphine being stalled as a treatment for god knows how many years.
