What are the advantages of treatment using PROMETA? First, PROMETA treatment is designed to target alcohol, cocaine, or methamphetamine dependence on a biological level. In addition, treatment using PROMETA is discreet, and does not require long periods away from home or work. Treatment is started over a short initial course of treatment, given in 2-3 visits on consecutive days. Following this initial treatment, ongoing prescription medications can be conveniently taken at home for 1 month, and patients will receive a nutritional support plan and recommendations for after care to aid in their recovery process. Additionally, the PROMETA treatment for cocaine or methamphetamine dependence includes a second medically supervised treatment on 2 consecutive visits, about 3 weeks after the initial treatment. What medications are administered during treatment using PROMETA? Treatment using PROMETA involves the use of specific prescription medications. These medications have not been FDA approved for substance dependence. Physicians may prescribe such medications if they decide that it fulfills their patients' specific needs. Your PROMETA-treating physician can describe the treatment and determine whether it is right for you. Note: PROMETA may not be appropriate for use in all patients, and should not be used in women who are or who plan to be pregnant or nursing during the course of treatment. There may be other health restrictions, including the taking of specific medications, which your treating physician will address. PROMETA | ABOUT PROMETA |
