Italy

Methadone/Buprenorphine Treatment: available

Methadone/buprenorphine treatment is available from some 600 drug dependence treatment units (servizio tossicodipendenze – Ser.T.) and general practitioners. Foreign
patients are supposed to carry a letter from their methadone/buprenorphine prescriber stating the dose and identification details. Sometimes it might happen that a clinic or GP would not be prepared to respect and follow the directions of the patient’s home prescriber. Therefore, methadone/buprenorphine patients wishing to travel to Italy are strongly advised to contact Gruppo S.I.M.S. or Combatt-SITD about two weeks before their prospective date of arrival. They will be of assistance in referring a patient to an appropriate treatment service or GP.

Importation of Methadone/Buprenorphine: possible

Patients from one of the Schengen signatory countries (currently Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway,  Portugal, Spain, Sweden) must carry with them a special form (if available in their country) called “Certification to carry drugs and/or psychotropic substances for treatment purposes – Schengen Implementing Convention – Article 75”. Travellers from other countries are advised to carry with them a letter from their prescribing clinic or GP (if possible, translated into Italian).

Additional info on Ser.T. 1 and Ser.T.
2 Brescia:

The treatment centres expect methadone patients to carry with them a
letter from their home prescribing GP/clinic providing the patients’
personal data (name, home address, etc.), daily dose (in mg), possible
dose variations during the stay, and, if a patient is eligible for take
home, the number of take-home doses to be given at a time (maximum number
of take homes is 8). In addition to the doctor’s letter patients have to
carry with them a valid identity card or passport. Treatment is free for
EU citizens holding an E111 form (issued by their home health insurance
company). We strongly advise patients travelling to the province of
Brescia to have their home prescribers contact Ser.T. 1 or Ser.T. 2 at
least two weeks before their departure.
