Subcutaneous micropellet treatment is a specialized procedure designed to support individuals in managing addiction by using a long-acting medication delivered through a micropellet implanted under the skin. This treatment provides consistent medication release, helping to reduce cravings and prevent relapse.
The process begins with a psychiatrist consultation, where the patient’s mental health is thoroughly assessed to ensure that they are a suitable candidate for the treatment and to address any underlying psychological concerns that may affect the outcome.
A general surgeon consultation is also conducted to evaluate the patient’s physical health and determine the appropriate site for the micropellet implantation. This consultation ensures that the patient is medically fit for the surgical procedure.
A urine test is performed to check for the presence of substances in the patient’s system and to confirm that they are in a stable condition for the procedure. This test helps in assessing the patient’s adherence to any pre-treatment guidelines.
Hospitalisation is required for one day to perform the procedure in a safe and controlled environment. This short stay allows for close monitoring of the patient before and after the procedure to ensure their safety and well-being.
The core of the treatment is the under skin micropellet application, a surgical operation where a small pellet is implanted under the skin. This micropellet slowly releases medication over time, providing a steady dose that helps manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings effectively.
