CPRx's Outpatient Detox Program    
Typically, thorough detoxification takes between two to three weeks. Although the original medication from which the patient is detoxifying has left the body completely within three to five days, the symptoms of withdrawal and other associated medical consequences usually last six to 18 months. This extended period of medical risk requires administration of small dosages of a buprenorphine product in order to avoid common detoxification symptoms. These include but are not limited to chronic fatigue, muscle and bone aches, sweats, other tactile discomfort and medication cravings. During treatment, CPR's medical professionals and the patient decide upon a schedule that comfortably reduces the need for buprenorphine or other medications gradually until no medication is required. The length of this schedule depends on each patient's level of dependency, damage to nervous, lymphatic and endocrine systems, and length of time the patient has used, overused or abused the original medication. Weeky visits to the physician, at a cost of $75 per visit, are required for the extended program. Additional costs include prescribed medications. Patients have the option of filling prescriptions at our on-site pharmacy; please see Costs & Charges for examples of pharmacy costs.    
Atypical Detox: Special Circumstances    
There are special circumstances of patients who require more than 2 weeks to safely detox. These patients may wish to participate in an extended program, also completed on an outpatient basis. There is an individualized protocol of medication and physician visits reviewed with the patient during the initial visit. Our physicians agree that those patients who have used analgesics or narcotics for a period of longer than 6 months may benefit from a minimal, daily, regulated dosage of Buprenex® following detoxification. This is especially true for patients who suffer from chronic pain. Buprenex® has been shown to be extremely effective in stopping relapse, cravings, and continued withdrawal pain and suffering. These discomforts are due in part to the damaged central and peripheral nervous system resulting from long term use of narcotics. The patient may have developed opiate receptor deficiency syndrome and/or secondary global withdrawal pain disorder.    
CPRx's Outpatient Program for Chronic Pain & Anxiety    
Buprenex® is a safe, effective analgesic that does not present the negative side effects commonly associated with opiate medications. CPR has been successful in treating chronic pain caused by automotive accidents, illness, sports injuries and other chronic, pain-inducing medical conditions. Some patients may respond more appropriately to traditional pain relief medications, and these medications can be obtained as well at our on-site pharmacy if the patient prefers.
