Drug addiction is a big problem for some of us that is why there are a lot of rehabilitation centers around the world to cater the needs of the persons who are suffering to it. But now a days drug addiction can now be treated in a home-based medical treatment program. If a person is addicted to opiates there is a methadone detox program that could help manage the person to be clear from unwanted elements inside the body. Methadone is most often prescribed to manage chronic pain or to help a patient control addiction to opiates such as heroin and opioid-based prescriptions. In this case, it is considered methadone treatment and unless that treatment falls under the category of methadone maintenance in which long-term methadone use is part of the treatment plan, then methadone detox is imminent. The other thing that could also detoxify you from opiates is by subxone treatment. Suboxone detox is a combination of two drugs, buprenorphine and naloxone, which is prescribed for those struggling with opiate addiction. Subutex is a similar drug made of buprenorphine only. Both have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating opiate addiction outside the clinic setting, and both are prescribed by Meditox to our outpatient clients.
