Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Retention Rate After 12 Months of Treatment With Suboxone
Time Frame: 12 months
The primary aim of the SUBOXONE® NIS was to document the 12-month retention rate for at least N = 300 subjects with opioid dependence in a real-life scenario in at least N = 70 sites throughout Germany.
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Dosage of SUBOXONE®
Time Frame: Day 1 and Final Assessment (month 12 or time of dropout)
Circumstances of switching to SUBOXONE®: Analyse induction and maintenance dose of SUBOXONE®.
Day 1 and Final Assessment (month 12 or time of dropout)
Take Home Prescriptions of SUBOXONE®
Time Frame: Day 1 and Final Assessment (month 12 or time of dropout)

Circumstances of switching to SUBOXONE®: Analyze if the number of take home prescriptions of SUBOXONE®, reported by the treating physician, increase between day 1 and the final assessment.

Take Home prescription is defined as a prescription of up to 7 daily dosages SUBOXONE® from the treating physician which allows the patients to receive the prescribed amount of daily dosages SUBOXONE® from a pharmacy to take home and dispense the medication on his own on a daily basis.

A patient can receive only one take home prescription for up to 7 days at the time.
Day 1 and Final Assessment (month 12 or time of dropout)
Drug Craving (Subjective Effects of Therapy)
Time Frame: Baseline and Final Assessment (month 12 or time of dropout)
Circumstances of switching to SUBOXONE®: Analyse change of drug craving for opiates by using a 100mm visual analog scale (minimum: 0 = no craving; maximum: 100 = high craving)
Baseline and Final Assessment (month 12 or time of dropout)
