Subutex Treatment

Subutex and Suboxone have both been approved for treatment of opiate dependence. Each form of medication contains active ingredient buprenorphine hydrochloride which works to reduce symptoms of opiate addiction. This drug was initially licensed in the UK in 1998 and found to be safer and more effective than methadone for treatment of opiate users. Subutex is the brand name for a Schedule III sublingual formulation of buprenorphine, which received US FDA approval (DATA 2000) in October 2000.

DATA 2000 premise is to help destigmatize opioid treatment and to enable more doctors to add the management of opioid administration to their own practice. This greatly expands currently available treatment options and availability for individuals who would not or could not spend the time necessary to attend a methadone clinic.

If you have become addicted or dependent upon pain killers or opiates which you use recreationally and have arrived at the point in your life where you are ready to stop using drugs, you are ready to enter treatment at the Meditox Program. Unlike many other drug programs where you must fit yourself into the form of treatment provided at the clinic, you will find that we design your treatment program to suit you as an individual.

Based upon your bio-psychosocial history, your personal needs and your treatment goals, we plan a course of treatment to include a number of individual counseling sessions with various members of our team of skilled clinicians. In addition to substance abuse counseling, you may receive marriage and family counseling, nutrition, massage therapy and whatever else is needed to help you improve your life.

You will receive Subutex, which is a safe and effective form of medication, to help you detox in only a few hours as opposed to several days and will not have to experience the aches and pains and other discomfort that typically goes along with withdrawal symptoms. You will not need to spend more than one day away from your career or education and will be able to detox comfortably at home.

If you feel that Meditox might be the right solution for you or your loved one, please call us for a toll-free and private consultation:
