Patients needing to detox from potent opiate painkillers such as OxyContin should not delay treatment because of a fear of failure. Many people think that opiate detox and its resulting withdrawal phase has to entail suffering.
It’s important to note that a successful Oxycontin withdrawal treatment starts with an effective detox. In fact, the initial period of a Oxycontin detoxification can be intense, and a specialized medical facility can provide necessary support. Furthermore, no matter how much or how long the Oxycontin use has been, detoxing at a medical facility is always the safest option. Withdrawal symptoms can lead to complications and severe health issues that require immediate medical attention. For this reason, enrollment in an inpatient, Oxycontin withdrawal treatment program is a wise choice. Another key point is that detoxing in a fully accredited medical hospital such as Waismann Method provides 24-hour medical assistance, ongoing medical monitoring, and vital signs management.

The Waismann Method ® of Rapid Detox, treats OxyContin® (oxycodone hydrochloride) addiction and or dependency with the most advanced medicine. Our OxyContin treatment program is comprehensive and known for its safe and compassionate approach to OxyContin dependency.
Our Waismann Method of rapid opiate detox does not require weeks or months-long commitments in order to achieve recovery. Patients using the Waismann Method are usually inpatient 5 to 10 days in order to complete the detoxification treatment. Our OxyContin® detox treatment is performed at a full service accredited hospital under the strict supervision of our medical director, Dr. Michael Lowenstein Board Certified Anesthesiologist, a Diplomat of the American Board of Pain Medicine, American Society of Addiction Medicine and the Institute of Functional Medicine.
The procedure takes place at a full-service hospital to provide close monitoring and access to additional medical services and specialists. Staff admit patients into their private room to maintain their privacy and comfort. Medical professionals perform a thorough medical and physical examination to ensure the patient is a candidate for rapid opiate detoxification. It is imperative that we properly evaluate patients before the procedure as an in-patient so we can administer pre-medication to stabilize body functions. This helps to achieve a smooth and safe detoxification procedure.
Usually, on the second day, staff transfer patients to the ICU for the Waismann Method of detoxification under sedation. The anesthesiologist sedates patients so they sleep comfortably for about 60 to 90 minutes. During this time, acute opiate withdrawal is accelerated with the use of an opiate antagonist medication. A board-certified anesthesiologist closely monitors and controls the medically-induced withdrawal.
The morning after the procedure, staff usually transfer patients back to a private room on the medical floor where they continue to recover, receiving intravenous fluids, and regaining their strength. Staff encourage patients to get out of bed, walk, and resume eating regularly. During this period, physicians assess the patient’s readiness for discharge.
By the afternoon on the third day, about 95 percent or more of patients discharge to Domus Retreat. At Domus Retreat, we work with both the physical transition, as well as the emotional health of our patients. Opiate dependency causes numerous changes in brain chemistry and organ functions. After the procedure, it is paramount that patients are monitored properly for at least a few days in order to regulate basic functions and prevent medical complications.

This can be useful for some but tends to be long-term treatment and can result in the development of a second dependency and subsequent need for detox.
