Supervised Consumption of Medicines

Supervised Consumption of Medicines

Supporting Recovery with Care and Professionalism

The Supervised Consumption of Medicines provides a structured and supportive environment for patients transitioning from harmful opiates to safer alternatives such as methadone or buprenorphine. By ensuring proper medication use, we help individuals stabilise their lives and reduce the risk of relapse.

Things You Need to Know

What is Supervised Consumption?

This service ensures that opiate substitute medicines are taken correctly under pharmacist supervision, particularly during the critical early stages of treatment.

Why Use Opiate Substitutes?

Methadone and buprenorphine create a less intense and prolonged effect, reducing withdrawal symptoms and decreasing the risk of relapse.

Supporting Recovery

Supervised consumption encourages adherence to treatment plans, enabling patients to build a stable lifestyle and improve their health.

Reducing Misuse

By supervising the use of these medicines, the service prevents diversion to the black market or unauthorised use by others.
