What Could You Advise For The Detox That Was Planned At Home Along With The Nutritional Supplements?
My son is going to detox at home. he has been using suboxone for two years. We are looking for any assistance. i am a certified Homeopath and will be lending treatment on that level with some nutrional supplements. I can welcome any other support. Joe
hi, Thank you for posting your query in Health Care Magic, I understand your concern. Suboxone abuse is getting commoner in recent days, and any drug detox program should include tapering of the drug before completely withdrawing it to reduce withdrawal symptoms. first start tapering the dose of suboxone until you get to zero dose.( for example if you start from 6 mg in the first , go to 5 mg in the next week, 4 in the next week and so on ) look out for withdrawal symptoms , but try not to increase dose because of this. do it for over a period of 6 months Naltrexone implants prove helpfull and reduce cravings. Meanwhile get routine blood test done and also seek help of your physician . Hope this helps. Write back to us for further assistance or other queries. Take care.
