Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.

GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1Buprenorphine/Naloxone
Office based treatment of opioid dependence with buprenorphine/naloxone~Buprenorphine/naloxone: Buprenorphine/naloxone induction begins with a 2-4mg test dose followed by additional doses on the day of induction to relieve withdrawal symptoms, and then titrated to a maintenance dose between 8-24 mg/day over 1 to 3 days. Doses will be directly observed and occur daily. After a minimum of 2 weeks, dosing may be changed to 3 or 4 times per week, as determined clinically appropriate by the HIV clinic study physician. Dosing will remain flexible to a maximum dose of 24mg for daily dosing and 32mg for every other day dosing, as deemed clinically appropriate by the study physician.
