[Heroin substitution treatments. Analysis of current solutions, trends, and perspectives].
Drugs used for treatment of narcotic addicts (buprenorphin at high concentration or methadone) have different advantages and disadvantages. The author has tried to insist on what can be complementary between both treatments. Two new formulations of buprenorphin at high concentration (Suboxone and Subutex NF) are described and proposed to replace Subutex.
