Buprenorphine Detox (UK, Ireland, Continental Europe)

Buprenorphine is a synthetic opioid and a powerful painkiller; a modern way of providing opiate substitution in heroin addiction treatment. Sometimes, Buprenorphine is administrated in alcohol addiction treatment as a harm reduction remedy, as well as in the treatment of some other chemical dependencies. When taken orally, Subutex doesn't give any opiate high affect and some find that it doesn't cause psychological dependency either as it increases opiate tolerance. However, the synthetic opioid can rapidly lead to a strong psychical addiction and getting off Buprenorphine is not so simple.

Despite the fact that Buprenorphine doesn't allow one to get high, many people experience psychological addiction from this medication and it's not really possible to just forget all about it after a successful detoxification. Subconscious attachment to Buprenorphine, the daily ritual of sucking the pill and the dosages decreasing-increasing game become harbingers of significant cravings. This is especially pronounced in those who were forced to get pain management with Suboxone when having serious discomfort and subconsciously fear that the pain could resume, even though the cause was eliminated a long time ago.

We offer personal anti-craving programs, designed and planned for each person individually. Pharmacological and holistic therapy as well as special Naltrexone implants (opiate blockers) is applied.
