Suboxone Treatment for Drug Detox
At Meditox, we help our patients detoxify from opiates by using the revolutionary new drug buprenorphine. Also called "bupe," the drug is sold under the trade names Temgesic, Buprenex, Subutex, and of course, Suboxone. These pharmaceutics vary slightly, but their active ingredient is all the same: the revolutionary new drug buprenorphine.
Buprenorphine is chemically similar to the opiates, but it is just different enough to have different effects on the body. Opiates activate pathways in the brain that block pain and create euphoria--buprenorphine activates only some of these pathways. The result is that buprenorphine can fool the brain into thinking that opiates are present, without actually creating any kind of dependency.
The result is that buprenorphine or Suboxone Treatment is an excellent tool for those looking to detox from opiate dependencies. You can stop taking your opiate, and instead take the buprenorphine. Your body then starts to detoxify from opiates, but the buprenorphine fools the brain into thinking it's there. As a result, you can detox without having painful withdrawal symptoms. In fact, you can detox safely and easily--even from the comfort of your own home!
Once you have detoxified from your opiate, you simply lower your dose of buprenorphine over a six-week period until you are completely drug-free at the end. This gradual transition lets your body and brain both fully adjust to the absence of any opiate.
