Meditox Drug Detox Centers
Apparently, Meditox Drug Detox Centers are using Buprenorphine to treat opioid addition (together with, as at all reputable centers, 1-on-1 client management). My recollection is that there are well-controlled studies supportive of the use of buprenorphine in opioid addiction. Can any readers out there point us to the references.
The focus of the Meditox method is allowing a quick return to normal productive life. By using buprenorphine, these folks hope to allow an essentially immediate return to work and family.
My take on this is that addicts need to be ready for a hard road, no matter which drugs are used or how many initial visits are involved. My brother was an addict, and in his case the cure took several attempts and required years of hard work and several different programs. Meditox Centers weren't available at that time; I wish they had been.
