Methadone, for example, needs to be administered daily, while the 37-hour half-life of buprenorphine means that a single dose is effective for 1-2 days, or longer in some patients."Weekly patches" of buprenorphine are also available, although at present these are for use in pain management rather than in curbing addiction and have limited bioavailability.
