Detox with Subutex (buprenorphine) - Britlofex (Lofexidine)

7 Day Inpatient Detox plus Naltrexone Implant in Alexandria
These are rapid and semi-rapid opiate detoxification inpatient programmes under sedation (not under anesthesia), in a state of the art hospital. As some patients could need a longer period to be detox or to recover, these programmes are flexible and can be tailored to the patient's needs.
6 Month Naltrexone Implant
The purpose of the implant is t provide a blockade against opiates for approximately 6 months. Naltrexone implants are not licensed by the MHRA at present due to there not being enough medical data. However, they are available on a Special Access Scheme.

Subutex (buprenorphine) Detoxification
You can undergo an opiate detoxification with Subutex. This procedure usually takes one to three weeks depending on your clinical condition, your primary drug problem, the amounts you are taking, ploly drug use and last but not at least your liver function.
Pros
- This detox is cheaper than an inpatient rapid opiate detox under sedation.

- Subutex is a controlled drug, therefore daily dose must be taken sublingual under supervision, and it takes up to three minutes to dissolve under the tongue.
- Pharmacists have to be licensed to supervise consumption.
- You can feel some discomfort during the first and/or second day.
- Detox last doses and 48hs interval until the first Naltrexone dose are the critical points.
- As any other detox, it is very difficult to stay clean until you have your first naltrexone dose.
- Most of the people relapse during the last week, when Subutex is reduced below 4mg per day.
- As any other detox procedure there is some post detox overdose risk involved.
