Opiate Detox

 

We are able to offer 3 different detoxification regimes if a person has been using opiates or opiate based prescribed medications.

 

Methadone

This is the preferred medication to use if a person is currently already taking methadone at levels of 40mls or more per day prior to their admission to Pierpoint House.

 

Lofexidine

This is the preferred medication to use if a person is currently taking methadone of less than 40mls per day or they have never had methadone in the past.

 

Buprenorphine (Subutex)

This is the preferred medication to use if a person is currently taking Subutex to control their opiate use.

 

We regret that we cannot offer a Subutex Detox if the person is not already prescribed it prior to their admission to Pierpoint House.

 

If you need a methadone detox or more information about a methadone detox, contact us today for friendly advice.
