About Our Micro-Dose Initiation Services

Life Line Services is one of the few addiction treatment centers offering Micro-dose Initiation. This is the newest, state of the the art method of Suboxone initiation. Using a micro-dosing technique for starting Suboxone offers several advantages.  Micro-dosing allows for a more gradual and controlled transition from full opioid agonists, such as Fentanyl or Oxycontin, to Suboxone. This method involves starting with very small doses of Suboxone and gradually increasing the dosage over several days while the patient continues taking their usual dose of opioids. After five to seven days, the patients’ opioid receptors will be fully occupied by the Suboxone. At that point, the patient’s usual opioid can be discontinued, usually without causing any symptoms of withdrawal. Unlike the traditional method of Suboxone Initiation used by most clinics, Micro-dose Initiation eliminates the need to be in withdrawal prior to starting the Suboxone.  It also reduces the risk of precipitated withdrawal, a sudden and intense withdrawal syndrome that can occur when Suboxone is administered too soon or at too high of a dose.

Micro-dosing provides a smoother and more comfortable initiation process. It allows individuals to adjust to the effects of Suboxone gradually, reducing the intensity of potential side effects and withdrawal symptoms. This improves overall tolerability and decreases the chance the patient will abandon treatment and go back to using.

We at Life Line Services a personalized approach to treatment. Each individual may have a unique sensitivity to Suboxone and varying levels of opioid dependence. Micro-dose Initiation allows for individualized adjustments, maximizing the benefits while minimizing the potential for side effects.
