"Researchers at the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) and others nationally are hoping to determine whether the anti-addiction medication Suboxone -- a mix of buprenorphine and naloxone -- can be used to effectively treat people addicted to prescription opiate-based drugs like Vicodin and OxyContin.
The Prescription Opiate Addiction Treatment Study (POATS) is the first large-scale research project of its kind. Funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), POATS research is being conducted at 11 sites nationally, including UCSF."
