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.
