Stabilisation & Maintenance prescription

Patients often find it difficult to stop using heroin or other opioids on their own. Opioid substitution treatments (OST) like Buprenorphine, Buvidal are highly effective treatments. 

​

After an initial telephone triage, there will be a comprehensive assessment in the clinic where we discuss different options of treatment and a private prescription can be issued.

Buvidal - Available at Jacobs Clinic in Manchester

 

Buprenorphine prolonged-release injection (Buvidal) can be administered under the skin once a month which takes away the need to take tablets daily and also prevents the misuse of opioids by missing oral tablet doses on the days patients misuse opioids.
