Subutex Warnings

Mixing Subutex with other substances can lead to potentially deadly overdose.

Some people are prescribed Subutex as a treatment meant to wean them from opiate addiction. Others may take it recreationally for the sense of euphoria it can produce. Either way, use could lead to problems including addiction and overdose. Subutex is also an opiate, considered to be opiate “replacement” or “substitution” therapy. The Waismann Method offers renowned opiate detox and considers “replacements” such as Subutex, Suboxone and methadone to be risky, possibly swapping one addiction for another. Subutex is the brand name for buprenorphine and is offered in tablet form. Possible side effects can include chills, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, sweating, vomiting and headaches. All prescription drugs including Subutex should be taken exactly as prescribed to avoid possible problems. Subutex is known as a central nervous system depressant. Mixing it with other drugs or substances that have this effect could have deadly consequences. These include alcohol, other opiates, sleeping medications, tranquilizers, muscle relaxers, sedatives and hypnotics. Mixing these can lead to difficult breathing, sedation, drowsiness, unconsciousness or death.

Warnings on Subutex Use Include Overdose and Addiction

Mixing Subutex with other substances can lead to potentially deadly overdose. This can also happen among those people who take too much Subutex. Taking it at prescribed, therapeutic levels has rarely caused an overdose. Signs of overdose can include pinpoint pupils, seizures, dizziness, slowed or difficult breathing, loss of consciousness, confusion and coma. Sudden cessation of use after a lengthy period can cause some withdrawal symptoms, including anxiety, diarrhea, fever, sneezing, runny nose, goose bumps, abnormal skin sensations, vomiting, nausea, pain, rigid muscles, rapid heartbeat, shivering, tremors, sweating and insomnia. Repeated use of Subutex can cause addiction. Many Subutex rehab and detox centers exist to address the problem. Waismann Method is known in the field to offer superior opiate detox that doesn’t rely on the use of opiate replacements to get patients well. Treating an addiction to one opiate with another opiate is not the best solution. Our program offers an opiate-free Subutex detox that is safe, effective and humane. We eliminate the opiate addiction at the source, once and for all. Our goal is to get patients back on their feet quickly and safely.

Waismann Method: The Responsible Choice for Opiate Detox

After choosing Waismann Method, patients check into a hospital for 3 to 6 days where they are checked thoroughly for any possible underlying medical issues. We then provide a medical detox that uses intravenous medication to cleanse the Subutex from patients’ opiate receptors. This happens in less than two hours while patients rest lightly under general deep sedation. The procedure accelerates the withdrawal process and patients awaken without the conscious awareness this phase has passed. Allowing patients to essentially skip this painful and degrading phase gives us an edge and allows patients to move forward quickly with recovery. Once discharged, patients are then free to return home or they can opt to transition in our Domus Retreat aftercare center.
