Buprenorphine Dependency
Buprenorphine dependency is commonly seen amongst patients
who use the semi-synthetic narcotic Suboxone. Suboxone is a combination of
Buprenorphine and Narcan, and it is a sublingual formulation, which means
it is taken under the tongue. Taken this way, the Buprenorphine is absorbed
through the mucus membrane, while the Narcan is not. This drug cannot be
injected, because the Narcan component causes instant opiate withdrawal.
Buprenorphine Detox
Buprenorphine
detox can be difficult because there are both mental and physical aspects
of Buprenorphine dependency. Opiates travel rapidly through the bloodstream
to the brain, where they stimulate opiate receptors, triggering intense
feelings of pleasure and reward. This quick high is followed a state of
relaxation and contentment that lasts for several hours. Concurrently,
opiates act directly on the respiratory center in the brainstem, causing
a decrease in the breathing rate of the user. When Buprenorphine and/or
other opiate-derivative drugs are used incorrectly, this reduction in breathing
can be dangerous and even fatal.
Traditional methods that Buprenorphine dependency-talk therapy along with
medicinal treatment to lessen the pain of withdrawal-often have low success
rates (less than 10% after the first year) due to the drug's powerful, physically
addictive properties.
A newer and quicker method of Buprenorphine detox (or Suboxone detox) is
Accelerated Neuro-Regulation (ANR), a rapid Drug addiction treatment that
is being used with increasing success for opiate dependency. ANR, also known
as the Waismann Methodsm of rapid detox, treats Buprenorphine dependency
as a physical disease that can be overcome with advanced medical techniques.
ANR eliminates the cravings that often accompany traditional opiate detox
treatments. The Waismann Methodsm has been clinically proven to be effective
for Suboxone or Buprenorphine dependency.
During Buprenorphine detox using ANR or the Waismann Methodsm, the body's
opiate receptors are cleansed of opiates while the patient is anaesthetized
and asleep. The goal is to rid the body of physical dependency: the patient
literally sleeps through physical withdrawal. The Waismann Methodsm reports
higher success rates in treating opiate addiction than do clinics utilizing
more traditional techniques.
