Located on The Gold Coast, known for its beautiful beaches and serene hinterland, The Bardo offers a range of professional and compassionate opioid rehabilitation programs to help you get life back on track.
Understanding Prescription Drug Addiction
Prescription drugs are relatively easy to get access too, hence the reason why this type of drug addiction is so widespread in today’s society. Some prescription drugs can be highly addictive, these include pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives.

Individuals taking either of these can quickly become dependent through no fault of their own and quite often need a detox and rehabilitation stay to break free from the unexpected cycle of addiction that they find themselves in.
We specialise in the following programs and treatments:

Benzodiazepines are minor tranquilisers and are most often prescribed by doctors to relieve anxiety or help people sleep. Benzodiazepines include drugs under the popular brand names Valium, Xanax, and Serepax.
Analgesics, such as codeine and oxycodone, are a class of drugs primarily used to alleviate pain. In Australia, as in many other parts of the world, they are widely prescribed for a variety of conditions where intense or chronic pain exists.

Pharmacotherapy
Pharmacotherapy is an essential component in the management and eventual discontinuation of prescription medications, particularly opioids. When patients are transitioning off opioids, intermediate pharmacotherapy, such as Methadone or Suboxone, is often utilised. These medications work by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, which can make the process of tapering off opioids more manageable.
Methadone, a long-acting opioid agonist, can help stabilise patients by preventing withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings. It is typically administered in a controlled clinical setting to ensure proper dosage and monitoring. Suboxone, which contains buprenorphine and naloxone, is another effective option. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that helps alleviate withdrawal symptoms, while naloxone helps prevent misuse by causing withdrawal symptoms if the medication is injected.
The transition to pharmacotherapy is carefully managed by our team who collaborate with an appropriate prescriber. This collaboration ensures a tailored approach that meets the specific needs of each patient. During the initial stages of this transition, close supervision is crucial to determine the correct dosage and to monitor the patient’s response to the medication. This careful oversight helps ensure that the patient feels comfortable and supported throughout the process.
Ultimately, the goal of pharmacotherapy in this context is to provide a safer and more controlled means of reducing dependence on prescription opioids, paving the way for a healthier, drug-free life.
