The Dr. Krishna Pandey Suboxone Clinic in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is run by Dr. Subodh Gupta, an eminent psychiatrist and director of the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine. Dr. Pandey’s work has won several awards including the Outstanding Clinical Principal Investigator (OCPI) award from the American Heart Association. However, his main claim to fame is probably the fact that he is the first psychiatrist to develop a comprehensive addiction treatment system based on the notion that chemical abuse of drugs is not the root cause ofadditional problems like mental disorder, psychosis, and bi-polar disorder. His work has also led him to develop an innovative six-pronged approach to fighting addiction that includes nutritional counseling, individual and group psychotherapy, social and lifestyle changes, and drug-replacement therapy.

The first thing you need to know about this clinic is that it treats heroin abusers with a combination of medication and therapies. An addict who quits cold turkey does not necessarily mean that he/she will not suffer from withdrawal symptoms. In fact, many cold turkey quitters suffer more severe withdrawal symptoms than those who have gone through detoxification (or outpatient rehab). In addition to receiving medical care, patients are sent home to collect supplies like needles and syringes, which are a service offered by no other clinic.

The cost of admission to the Dr. Krishna Panda clinic ranges from $300 to several thousand dollars depending on the number of sessions needed. There are financing options available, but patients are strongly encouraged to find and obtain their own loans or scholarships. Because many people struggle financially in today’s society, especially with student loans, many programs are specifically designed to help those with financial obstacles to obtain the treatment they need.
