Buprenorphine Addiction Treatments

At Meditox, our new method of outpatient detox has had great success. We attribute most of our success to our holistic method, which allows you to detox at home in a comfortable and safe--but also realistic--environment. However, we acknowledge that this kind of treatment has only been made possible by the development of a new treatment protocol utilizing buprenorphine, a breakthrough in the treatment of opiate dependency.

Scientists have been seeking a remedy for opiate addiction for generations. Believe it or not, morphine was used to treat opium addiction, heroin was created to treat morphine addiction, and methadone was developed to treat heroin addiction. While each of these steps created a less intense drug, they required carefully measured dosages for an indeterminate amount of time.

Finally, with buprenorphine, science has found what it started looking for in 1803. Buprenorphine will stimulate the receptors in the brain in a similar way to conventional opiates. The brain will then tell the body that it is satisfied and that it doesn't need to go into withdrawal. As a result of this stimulation, the patient's cravings are also eliminated. The drug also does not cling to the receptors as tenaciously as a real opiate, so as you are weaned off the medication, you will not feel withdrawal symptoms or cravings. You'll have energy and will remain fully functional.

With buprenorphine, the body experiences the plateau effect. No high is created and you cannot abuse this drug. Buprenorphine has proven effective in helping to fight drug cravings, and its use allows patients to detoxify without being in a highly-supervised environment; this is why it is now the cornerstone in our revolutionary new treatment plan.
