Medications like Buprenorphine Can Be Useful.
The Food and Drug Administration’s approval of Buprenorphine (subutex and suboxone) for treating addiction to heroin or other opioids as well as many pre scri ption painkillers have seriously increased the percentage of opiate-free urine specimens. Such pharmacotherapy for the treatment of drug addiction is now available in an outpatient medical office setting like Weyland Consultation Services in San Francisco. Personal experience has shown them that long-lasting effects result from urine samples that tested negative for opiates 36-65% over a one-year period.
