Germany
Methadone/Buprenorphine/Codeine Treatment: available
Methadone/Buprenorphine (Subutex®)/Codeine/Morphine treatment is available from general practitioners, some
clinics and specialized ambulatory (outpatient) services. Take home doses for up to seven days
(interstate travels) or up to 30 days (international travels) are
possible. Depending on the local region the patient wishes to visit it might sometimes be
difficult to find an appropriate service. We strongly advise the patients' home clinics or
doctors to contact a German methadone/buprenorphine/codeine prescriber/specialised
service some two weeks in advance of the expected
date of the patients' arrival in Germany. Regardless whether arrangements have been made
between a home and a local prescriber or not any patient should carry a letter from
his/her home prescriber stating identification and treatment details. In the event of
having difficulties in finding an appropriate GP or service contact Ralf Gerlach at the
The
Coordinating and Information Resource Center for International Travel by
Patients Receiving Methadone and other Substitution Treatments for Opiate
Addiction
("The Travel Resource Center") . Do not forget
to ask prescribers in Germany about costs for treatment and medication. Several countries have signed a
social security agreement with Germany so that an E 111 form (a health insurance
document for abroad) is accepted which
reduces costs to a minimum. These countries are: Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegowina, Croatia,
Denmark, Federal Republic of
Jugoslavia, Finland,
France, Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Hungary, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macedonia,
Netherlands,
Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Tunesia, and Turkey.
Patients from countries that have not signed a social security agreement with
Germany, e.g. the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand, have to pay all fees on their own.
Therefore, travellers without an E 111 form are strongly
advised to bring into Germany the quantity of methadone/buprenorphine needed for the duration
of stay whenever possible. Fees differ between
different doctors/clinics - regarding methadone they range between 100 to 400 Euro per month.
Importation of Methadone/Buprenorphine/Codeine/Morphine: possible
Foreign methadone/buprenorphine/codeine/morphine patients are allowed to bring their own supply of
medication needed for personal use for the duration of stay on condition that they carry a
certificate from their home physician or clinic (including quantity of the
medication, daily
dosage, dates of arrival in and departure from Germany) which clearly supports their need
for the medication. It should be noted that residents from one of the
EU signatory
countries of the "Schengen Implementing Convention, Article 75" must carry with them a "Certification to carry drugs and/or other psychotropic
substances for treatment purposes - Schengen Implementing Convention, Article 75"
form when travelling to Germany, provided such forms are available in the corresponding
countries.
