Opiate Withdrawal Syndrome and Opiate Detox
Life hurts. Withdrawal hurts more.
Withdrawal
is a long and painful process, which can cause
permanent damage to your heart lungs, and brain.
For health-compromised patients, untreated
and unmonitored withdrawal can lead to death.
Opiate
dependency treatment requires safe and responsible
medical care. In the past, opiate dependents
had no choice but to undergo conventional detoxification
procedures. It caused them to suffer a debilitating
and dangerous withdrawal syndrome:
Opiate
deprivation triggered unbearable pain and a
cascade of bodily reactions: cold sweating,
uncontrollable diarrhea, nausea and vomiting,
aching limbs, severe depression and a mounting
panic.
Today,
the Waismann Method recognizes opiate addiction
as a reversible medical disorder, treatable
in an effective, dignified, safe and humane
manner. Common medications that patients seek
to detoxify include: hydrocodone, oxycodone,
and hydromorphone
