"If the craving is not addressed and treated, it becomes a time bomb that breaks any promises and explodes with the relapse"
Judah Hernández Vásquez M.D.
A Tailored Treatment
Each patient is unique, and they may qualify for a treatment or combination of strategies that can provide results within the first three months. These professional strategies are referred to as harm reduction approaches.
How do these treatments work?
Most of them specifically and with almost surgical precision block receptors that, due to excessive and prolonged consumption, no longer function properly, causing this neurochemical imbalance that leads the patient to relapse.
One of those receptors are the opioid receptors responsible for cravings, appetite, and subsequent relapse with various substances such as alcohol, cocaine including crack, amphetamines and methamphetamines like crystal meth, as well as heroin and its derivatives. By blocking them through specific and specialized pharmacological action, the overload from the malfunction of these neurochemicals stabilizes and reduces el deseo o ansiedad por volver a consumir by up to 80%.
From the first consultation, an Addiction Medicine specialist performs the following steps:
