Clonidine may be used to treat opioid use disorder because
it:
A. binds and activates mu opioid receptors and therefore
prevents withdrawal.
B. binds and blocks mu opioid receptors and therefore prevents
the individual being able to get "high" from an opioid agonist.
C. will decrease some of the physiological effects associated
with withdrawal, making withdrawal less severe and more
tolerable.
D. will increase dopamine release in the brain decreasing drug
craving.
