About the Naltrexone Treatment Clinic

“ The aim of the Naltrexone Treatment Centre is to assist in the rehabilitation of patients in their efforts to overcome opiate addiction after detoxification. ”

Please note that we do not provide a detoxification service.

Our Mission Statement

We provide a patient-centred, confidential approach in a non-threatening, non-judgmental environment. Our patient base encompasses the United Kingdom and Europe. We do not provide a detoxification service.

The Clinic has procedures in place to ensure that the patient's safety is paramount. The patient is encouraged to ask questions or raise any concerns about implantation throughout his/her visit to the clinic. This is achieved by a strict pre-implant vetting which includes :-

• A comprehensive application form and relevant enclosures.
• It is a requirement of the Clinic that patients attending for implantation first have a urine test, are given a 50mg Naltrexone tablet, and are then seen by the Counsellor. Family members and carers are welcomed at the patient's request.
• One of the team will explain the implantation procedure, side effects and aftercare to you. The consent form will be explained to you; at this stage you will be asked to sign to acknowledge your intent to proceed with the implant.
• Local anaesthetic is injected into the implantation site. After the anaesthetic has taken effect the Medical Director will perform the minor surgery in order to insert the implant.
• On completion of the surgery the patient will be given the relevant after-care literature and any final questions answered.
• After a period of 4 – 6 months all patients will be sent a questionnaire in order to evaluate effectively the progress that is being made.
• Completed questionnaires will help the Clinic to maintain high standards of patient care. All information received will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.
