Painkiller Support
Are you buying painkillers from the pharmacy too often? Are you sourcing them on the internet? Do you live in fear of withdrawal symptoms? Regardless of how you are sourcing your painkillers, our confidential painkiller misuse treatment service can help.
Listen to GP Edmund Stewart and Liz Marr, our prescribing phrmacist, describe how New Mind Medical can help you.
We recognise that painkiller misuse is a hidden problem. It can have an impact on families, relationships, finances, and employment. In the worst-case scenarios it can take over your life.
Whether you are buying over-the-counter painkillers on a regular basis, are using too much prescription painkillers, or sourcing them on the internet, New Mind Medical can help.
We use a substitute medication which will control withdrawals and help you feel like your normal self. Using motivational interviewing we will help you gradually reduce and stop the substitute.
People using excessive amounts of painkillers fear withdrawal which occurs within a day or two of taking their last dose . Symptoms may include flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills, sweating, runny nose and muscle aches.
We use Buprenorphine in tablet and monthly injection form as a substitute. This will prevent withdrawals and allow a gradual planned reduction. The injection is administered at the clinic and does not require going to a pharmacy.
