Wellbutrin is the only one that comes to mind, but I'm sure there are others. A substance abuse councillor could help you w/this. Check in your local telephone book for numbers to call for help...& good luck to you!
There are two such drugs (well, three, actually). Methadone is used for the treatment of severe opiate addiction. Buprenorphine is used for the treatment of mild to moderate opiate addiction.
Buprenorphine comes in two forms: Suboxone and Subutex. Suboxone has an additional ingredient called naloxone. Naloxone is a partial opiate antagonist, which means that it blocks the opiate receptors in your brain, so you cannot get an opiate high while you are taking Suboxone.
Subutex lacks the naloxone, so, it is possible to get an opiate high while you're on it.
I believe it is the drug Naloxone. I have read in a Diet and Therapy text that it is used to curb the cravings of high fat and carb foods. It is an opiate antagonist primarily used for opiate abuse and treatment. It has other uses, but I would consult a pharmacist regarding any drug.

However, the drugs Demerol, Percocet, and Parvon can also act as an opioid substitute.
