Iceland
Methadone/Buprenorphine Treatment: available
Foreign patients will be accepted for
temporary treatment at a hospital in Reykjavik (Landspitalinn,
unit "Bradamottaka"), provided the local health
authority has given their approval. Therefore, the home
prescriber should provide notice of his/her patient's intended
journey to the Reykjavik health authority (Landlaeknisembaettid)
well in advance of arrival to provide sufficient time to give
permission and for arrangements to be made with the hospital. On
arrival the traveller should carry with him/her a letter from
his/her clinic or doctor clearly stating identification and
treatment details.
Importation of Methadone/Buprenorphine: possible
Foreign travellers are permitted to bring into
Iceland the quantity of methadone/buprenorphine needed for personal use as
medication for the duration of stay. They must carry with them a
letter from their doctor which clearly supports their need for
the medication.
