Rehab may be a necessary step for patients trying to recover from an opium addiction. Not all rehab facilities offer comprehensive treatment for this complex condition so it’s important to research options. Opium is a powerful opiate (narcotic) drug that comes from the opium poppy plant. It is also synthesized to make opiate prescription medications including OxyContin, Actiq, Lorcet, methadone, Vicodin and Demerol. Rehabilitation is the set of programs and services available to help patients get better after suffering some type of addiction. Regular or prolonged use of opium can cause patients to develop a tolerance, meaning the drug’s effects become diminished and increasingly larger doses must be taken. All opiates have the potential to be highly addicting so they should be used with care. Physical addiction brings with it a painful withdrawal period that can make it difficult for people to detox on their own.

Patients Rest Comfortably While Opium Addiction is Reversed

Medical management of withdrawal is so important because it gives patients a stress-free way to detox and keep their dignity in the process. Not all opium rehabs offer this. Some are therapy or faith-based, some center around the 12-Step model and some offer detox with potentially addicting opiate replacements such as Suboxone, Subutex or methadone. Waismann Method’s rapid opiate detox uses a process called Accelerated Neuro-Regulation. Our safe, effective and comprehensive opium treatment uses intravenous medication to cleanse the opium from patients’ opiate receptors. This occurs while patients are sleeping lightly under deep sedation and takes less than two hours. Our opium detox accelerates withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, irritability, tremors and body aches. They develop and pass while patients are sedated and they awaken without the awareness they’ve already passed through withdrawal. Patients typically stay in the hospital a total of 3 to 6 days and can return home once discharged. Others may choose to extend recovery at our Domus Retreat transitional living facility.

Compassionate Opium Detox is Safe, Effective and Discreet

Our opium rehab is unique in many ways, including the compassionate and humane way we approach opiate addiction. Our main goal is to detox patients thoroughly, in a way that eliminates fear and suffering. We’re not interested in pointing fingers or making patients feel guilty or shameful about their condition. We also don’t obligate patients for weeks or months. Some other programs require ongoing attendance at meetings or therapy sessions, and rehab itself could be very long-term. Waismann Method is well known in the field of opiate rehabilitation because of our rapid treatment and our success and safety ratings. Our procedure is performed in the safety of an accredited hospital and patients are never discharged prematurely or sent to a hotel to recover. We monitor our patients thoroughly and make sure our program is discreet. We tailor our programs for each person. This is because we know everyone is different and we want to treat the individual, as well as the opium addiction.
