Choosing a Rapid Detoxification Program
1. Where is the procedure performed?
The Waismann Method form of rapid detoxification is
performed in the Intensive Care Unit in a Joint Commission on Accreditation
of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) accredited hospital,
where an experienced, specially trained nursing staff monitors
each patient closely. Our physicians are each Board
Certified Anesthesiologists who are specialists
in pain management with extensive experience in opiate detoxification. Our
expert doctors have performed thousands of detoxifications under
anesthesia.
Opiate dependency takes a toll on the body, affecting many of the
body systems and often causing organ damage. In order to protect
the patient, it is absolutely crucial that appropriate medical
care be available. Anyone seeking rapid
detox treatment should ensure that the procedure takes place in
a reputable facility with a fully-trained staff.
2. When is the patient admitted to the hospital?
The Waismann Method requires that patients
are admitted to the hospital at
least 24 hours prior to theprocedure
in order to complete a full physical health
evaluation and
begin pre-medications to ensure the safety of each patient.
Those dependent on opiates develop a slower metabolism as
well as experience changes in organ function over time. In
particular, their digestive systems, heart rate, blood pressure
and kidney function are frequently compromised. It
is absolutely imperative for the safety and success of the detoxification
that patients are properly assessed and pre-treated prior to
undergoing the procedure. Each patient is treated differently
depending on his or her health, physical condition and opiate
use. During
this assessment, the treatment will be customized to meet
the specific needs of each individual.
The Waismann Method performs all detox procedures in a carefully
monitored setting of an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Patients remain in the ICU for approximately
24 hours after anesthesia has been administered. This ensures the patient’s
safety by having immediate access to any medical interventions that
may become necessary.
3. What are the qualifications of the treating physician? How experienced
are your physicians in performing this procedure?
The Waismann Method has used the same two Board Certified
Anesthesiologists for almost a decade with thousands of successful
procedures performed. Both Dr. Clifford A. Bernstein
and Dr. Michael Lowenstein have helped the Waismann Method
become one of the most successful treatment programs for
opiate patients worldwide.
Detoxification that takes place under anesthesia can only be completely
safe and effective if the proper amount of anesthesia and opiate
antagonist are delivered to the patient in the appropriate time
frame, which is based on the patient’s
individual medical and dependency history.
4. How long is the patient kept under general anesthesia?
With the evolution of the Waismann Method over the years, our
doctors have perfected the procedure to greatly
minimize the amount of time under anesthesia. This ultimately
reduces the risk of anesthesia-related complications
and symptoms of withdrawal. Patients are kept under anesthesia
from one to two hours, based on the patient’s medical and
dependency history. The Waismann Method treats every patient
as an individual with specific medical needs.
5. How long does the patient remain in the hospital following the
procedure?
Patients remain in the hospital approximately 48 hours following
the procedure or until they are medically stable. Waismann
physicians monitor each patient’s recovery and assess medical
issues such as pain level and GI damage made by the opiate intake.
6. What follow-up care is provided?
Patients that undergo the Waismann Method have the option
to continue their recovery at the Domus Retreat
(www.domusretreat.com),
a Sober Living Program available in personally tailored 7 to 28-day
stays, during which they are given intensive care by a specialized
team to help them gain the skills and confidence to
remain opiate addiction and dependency free. Psychologists,
biofeedback therapists, physical therapists, nutritionists and
massage therapists are available to work with closely with each
patient to aid in their recovery and assist in the transition to
a healthy, drug-free life.
Following the detoxification, the Waismann Method provides
counseling with a psychologist specially trained in the field of
drug dependence.
7. How does the Waismann Method staff respond to the stories of rapid
detox dangers reported in by media?
In almost a decade of medically treating opiate dependency in patients,
the Waismann Method has successfully treated thousands of patients
from all over the world.
Unfortunately, there are some rapid detox programs in operation
that have cut corners on medical precautions and safety in order
to offer a low cost procedure. As you can imagine, these programs
are very dangerous and put patients at an incredible risk, which
can lead to unnecessary medical complications and even fatalities
that could have been prevented with the proper care.
When choosing a rapid detox program, be sure to select a program
that exemplifies the highest professional standards and one that
pays rigorous attention to ensuring safety. The Waismann Method
has instituted a number of standards to ensure each patient receives
the safest, most effective treatment available, including a trained,
experienced medical staff, procedure performed in an ICU, and strict
medical evaluation prior to treatment.
Recently the Waismann Method launched two unique and helpful
Web sites which include news from the industry, patient experiences
and letters, and interactive discussion boards on the different
detoxifications procedures. This is designed to allow potential
patients to obtain free information on getting help for their dependency
to opiates while remaining anonymous. Please

Addiction Rapid Detox Forums and Rapid
Detox Blog.
