The antihypertension drug clonidine has been used to relieve many of the symptoms of opioid withdrawal, particularly those involving autonomic nervous system hyperactivity.

Antagonists, such as naloxone (Narcan), have significant side effects.
A dose as small as 0.25 mg will block the effects of heroin for ten hours, but it is effective only when administered intravenously. It does not reduce the “drug hunger” of heroin addicts. Naloxone is used for testing for opiate dependence (Narcon test) before admission to a methadone program.
