Buprenorphine (Suboxone/Subutex) works! Subutex, Buprenorphine and Suboxone all contain the same active ingredient. Detox, or "induction" is accomplished by switching you from whatever opiate (methadone, oxycontin, vicodin, morphine or heroin) to buprenorphine. The process is relatively painless, and very safe.
There's no need for rehab, you can be back to work in a few days. You can have complete privacy, detoxing with buprenorphine in the comfort of your own home, under the care and supervision of a qualified physician, psychiatrist who specializes in the treatment of addiction.
Buprenorphine, (Suboxone, Subutex) is an effective method of opioid detoxification. It's also a great way to start breaking the habits around drug use. Buprenorpine effectively diminishes craving, allowing you to get on with your life. You still need help, but you can get the help you need without the distractions of relapse and craving.
David Martorano, M.D. is a psychiatrist who has been helping people with Buprenorphine for over five years. He is a member of the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatrists, and the American Society of Addiction Medicine.
Physicians are required to undergo additional training and certification before they can prescribe buprenorpine for detoxification and maintenance. You need more! Controlling addiction is not just about stopping craving, it's about changing the behaviors that caused you to use in the first place. That's why you need a doctor with the experience and training to combine medication and psychotherapy and help you succeed in your sobriety.

CLEAN VS SOBER
Getting clean means not using drugs or alcohol, and the difference is in the attitude. Being sober is an attitudinal change where you take steps towards doing the behaviors that promote a lifestyle free of drugs and alcohol. It's very hard to not do something....
Testimonial
"I had all but given up hope. Despair had gotten the better of me. Until I met Dr. Martorano…not until my son was put in his care ( kicking and screaming all the way) did things begin to change. Dr Martorano was not like any therapist or psychiatrist I had ever met...
Your relationship with your doctor matters
Ivy League training, combined with a three-generation tradition of medicine, sets Dr. Martorano apart from other psychiatrists. Many physicians lack the real world experience to relate to your problems on a personal level. Wouldn’t you rather work with a doctor who understands the struggles you are facing?
