Morphine Home Detox Can Be Risky

Medically supervised detox can help patients manage withdrawal, increasing the odds of a safe, comfortable transition to recovery without the fear of relapse.

Withdrawal symptoms can make a drug detoxification both dangerous and highly uncomfortable. The symptoms can be quite serious, causing people to have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle and bone pain, extreme agitation – even seizures and coma. Without proper treatment, people who have been using opiates such as morphine for longer periods of time can suffer fatal consequences during detox. This is what makes a professional detox so important. Trying to go through detox alone can be painful, stressful and very dangerous. Some people try many times to detox on their own with little success. This is usually because they become so sick during withdrawal that they begin using again to make the pain go away. Medically supervised detox can help patients manage withdrawal, increasing the odds of a safe, comfortable transition to recovery without the fear of relapse.

Morphine is a potent narcotic drug that is used in the management of pain. It’s available by prescription and can become habit forming if used for a long period of time or at high doses. Most people who need a morphine detox have used it for legitimate pain and became dependent upon it once a tolerance developed. There are also those people who use it recreationally and abuse it for the euphoria it can produce. Either way, withdrawal can be brutal if not properly managed. Symptoms are hard to control for patients attempting home detox. There are addiction centers that specialize in detox and rehab, but many offer one-sided treatment that doesn’t adequately address withdrawal.

Rapid Opiate Detox by Waismann Institute Offers Promising Morphine Treatment

The renowned Waismann Institute in southern California is widely known and respected for its approach to opiate addiction. The facility offers rapid opiate detox that has proven safe, effective and discreet over the last decade. Our success and safety rates are unparalleled in the field, and part of that success lies in the unique way we help alleviate a painful withdrawal.

The Waismann Method uses non-addictive intravenous medication to cleanse the morphine from patients’ opiate receptors, wiping out the addiction once and for all. This takes less than two hours and patients rest lightly under general deep sedation during it. The procedure accelerates withdrawal and patients awaken from the procedure without the awareness they even experienced painful symptoms. The entire process is administered in the safety of a hospital where patients stay for 3 to 6 days. They can return home once discharged or transition in our Domus Retreat aftercare facility where holistic and therapeutic services include massage, biofeedback and counseling.
