Substitution treatment for opioid drug dependence, within a framework
of medical, social and

deter intravenous misuse.

of age who have agreed to be treated
for addiction.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Treatment must be under the supervision of a physician experienced in
the management of opiate
dependence/addiction.
_Precautions to be taken before induction_
Prior to treatment initiation, consideration should be given to the
type of opioid dependence (i.e. long- or
short-acting opioid), the time since last opioid use and the degree of
opioid dependence. To avoid
precipitating withdrawal, induction with buprenorphine/naloxone or
buprenorphine only should be
undertaken when objective and clear signs of withdrawal are evident
(demonstrated e.g. by a score
indicating mild to moderate withdrawal on the validated Clinical
Opioid Withdrawal Scale, COWS).
o For patients dependent upon heroin or short-acting opioids, the
first dose of buprenorphine/naloxone
should be taken when signs of withdrawal appear, but not less than 6
hours after the patient last used
opioids.
o For patients receiving methadone, the dose of methadone should be
reduced to a maximum of 30
mg/day before beginning buprenorphine/naloxone therapy. The lon
