Purpose
In this study, participants on methadone or buprenorphine/naloxone maintenance therapy will be given boceprevir. Blood samples will be taken at specified intervals to find out whether boceprevir affects the pharmacokinetics of methadone, buprenorphine, or naloxone.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) at Steady State of Methadone Enantiomers When Administered With or Without Boceprevir [ Time Frame: Methadone samples collected Day 1, 0 (predose) through 24 hours post-dose (Day 2). Boceprevir and methadone samples collected Day 7, 0 (predose) through 24 hours post-dose (Day 8). Predose samples also collected on Days 5-6. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]AUC is a measure of the amount of drug in the blood over time, measured at steady state (time at which the amount of drug eliminated by the body is in equilibrium with the amount taken in). The Day 1, 0 through 24 hour samples were for methadone levels in the absence of boceprevir co-administration. The Day 7, 0 through 24 hour samples were for methadone levels in the presence of boceprevir co-administration. The Day 5 and 6 predose samples were to check steady state for methadone + boceprevir.
- Maximum Concentration (Cmax) at Steady State of Methadone Enantiomers When Administered With or Without Boceprevir [ Time Frame: Methadone samples collected Day 1, 0 (predose) through 24 hours post-dose (Day 2). Boceprevir and methadone samples collected Day 7, 0 (predose) through 24 hours post-dose (Day 8). Predose samples also collected on Days 5-6. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Cmax is a measure of the maximum level of drug in the blood, measured at steady state (time at which the amount of drug eliminated by the body is in equilibrium with the amount taken in). The Day 1, 0 through 24 hour samples were for methadone levels in the absence of boceprevir co-administration. The Day 7, 0 through 24 hour samples were for methadone levels in the presence of boceprevir co-administration. The Day 5 and 6 predose samples were to check steady state for methadone + boceprevir.
- AUC of Buprenorphine (Administered in Combination With Naloxone) at Steady State With or Without Boceprevir [ Time Frame: Buprenorphine/naloxone samples collected Day 1, 0 (predose) through 24 hours post-dose (Day 2).

The Day 7, 0 through 24 hour samples were for buprenorphine/naloxone levels in the presence of boceprevir co-administration. The Day 5 and 6 predose samples were to check steady state for buprenorphine/naloxone + boceprevir.

Boceprevir and buprenorphine/naloxone samples collected Day 7, 0 (predose) through 24 hours post-dose (Day 8). Predose samples also collected on Days 5-6. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Cmax is a measure of the maximum level of drug in the blood, measured at steady state (time at which the amount of drug eliminated by the body is in equilibrium with the amount taken in).

The Day 7, 0 through 24 hour samples were for buprenorphine/naloxone levels in the presence of boceprevir co-administration. The Day 5 and 6 predose samples were to check steady state for buprenorphine/naloxone + boceprevir.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- AUC of Naloxone (Administered in Combination With Buprenorphine) at Steady State With or Without Boceprevir [ Time Frame: Buprenorphine/naloxone samples collected Day 1, 0 (predose) through 24 hours post-dose (Day 2). Boceprevir and buprenorphine/naloxone samples collected Day 7, 0 (predose) through 24 hours post-dose (Day 8).
