What is Opiate Detox?
An opiate detox is the process of removing opiate drugs from your body. Because this process can be uncomfortable and dangerous, it is best done under medical supervision and can be aided by medication, rest and psychological therapy.
Medication for Opiate Detox
Detoxing from opiates can be so challenging, and recovery is lifesaving; therefore, several medications have been developed to help with detoxing from opiates.
Methadone
The most well-known opiate detox medication. It has long been used to treat people with severe opiate addiction. It is itself an opioid and so helps manage the symptoms by replacing opiates and, in doing so, reduces withdrawal symptoms. Methadone is then reduced slowly, weaning the person off the medication, often over many years.
Buprenorphine
Touted as a replacement for methadone as the main medication of choice for people struggling with opiate detox, Buprenorphine is an opioid drug that is sometimes labelled the rapid opiate detox. It can shorten the detox period and reduce symptoms. It is particularly effective when combined with naloxone, which stops people from getting high from it and therefore reduces the risk of people becoming addicted to it. It is becoming the most common opiate detox medication for the NHS, as statistics show it carries a far lower risk of accidental poisoning than methadone.

Medical detoxification is the safe management of the acute physical symptoms of withdrawal associated with stopping drug and alcohol use. Our clinics will work with the patient to stabilise their withdrawal symptoms as well as manage any other acute medical problems. While detoxification alone does not treat addiction, for many patients it is the needed first step. Once stabilised, patients will be provided with the option of further treatment of their addiction on a rehabilitation programme, as well as follow up for any other medical problems.
