People with significant opiate addiction are unlikely to recover without some form of replacement therapy as part of their treatment. On the other hand, replacement therapy alone is not nearly as effective as combining it with other treatments such as counseling and self-help groups. 3, record 1, English, - replacement%20therapy

El tratamiento de sustitución a la metadona es un ejemplo de la utilización de unadroga para llegar poco a poco a reducir o parar el consumo de droga: la sustitución de heroína por metadona con carácter médico resultó muy eficaz para ayudar a los consumidores de heroína a suprimir su dependencia, reduciendo al mismo tiempo los daños causados a ellos mismos y a la sociedad. El tratamiento de sustitución implica la prescripción y la administración controlada de sustancias como la metadona y la buprenorfina. Estas sustancias pueden utilizarse para remplazar la heroína porque actúan sobre la necesidad de droga del sistemanervioso, y eliminan la necesidad de opiáceos como la heroína. 1, record 1, Spanish, - tratamiento%20de%20sustituci%C3%B3n
