Subutex and Suboxone are the first narcotic drugs available for the
treatment of opiate dependence that can be prescribed in an office
setting. Many buprenorphine detoxifications can occur with out
interruption to family or work life. Until recently opiate dependence
treatments like methadone could be dispensed in a very limited number of
clinics that specialize in addiction treatment. As a consequence there
have not been enough addiction treatment centers to accommodate all
patients desiring therapy. With buprenorphine medications the treatment
of opiate dependence can be prescribed in a doctor's office by specially
trained physicians. Detox with buprenorphine can improves patient access
to needed treatments.
Dr. Nathan has developed a detoxification management program designed to
deter optiate abuse and help patients live free of drug dependency. The
is achieved by close monitoring of patients when being treated with
buprenorphine
