Rapid Prescription Painkiller Detoxification

Prescription painkiller addiction is a fast-growing problem around the world. The availability of the medications, through legal and illegal means, is one of the factors contributing to the sharp increase in addiction in recent years. Prescription drugs are licensed by the government and in theory should only be available by a prescription.

Many drugs – including powerful opiates and addictive benzodiazepines – can be purchased through unscrupulous online “pharmacies,” many of which don’t even require a valid prescription. The black market, which historically has supported drugs like heroin and cocaine, has been flooded in recent years by prescription painkillers like OxyContin, Tramadol, Fentanyl and Vicodin.

Because of the nature of painkiller addiction, detox calls for professional medical assistance to assure safety and success.

Opiates and Their Associated Withdrawal Syndrome

Prescription painkillers are narcotics used to treat moderate to severe pain. An opiate is a substance that activates the body’s opioid receptors, located in the brain, spinal cord and gastrointestinal tract. Persistent use of prescription painkillers can lead to tolerance, dependence and addiction, both physical and psychological. Detoxification is typically the first step in any drug treatment program. Opiates have an associated withdrawal syndrome that causes symptoms to develop once use is lessened or stopped suddenly. Because symptoms can be severe, they must be managed medically. Opiate withdrawal syndrome can be difficult to manage alone but should not deter users from seeking help. The right detox program will help to manage withdrawal symptoms which can include:

• Insomnia
• Anxiousness
• Flu-like symptoms
• Tremors
• Hallucinations
• Delirium
• Sweating
• Cold flashes
• Muscle
• Bone pain
• Confusion
• Extreme irritability
• Muscle spasms.

Waismann Method Offers Renowned Prescription Painkiller Detox

The Waismann Method of Accelerated Neuro-Regulation (ANR) is the pioneer in the field of prescription painkiller detoxification. The rapid detox protocol has been used for over a decade in the United States, with unparalleled success and safety ratings. Patients in the Waismann program sleep comfortably for a short time under light anesthesia while medications cleanse the drugs from their opiate receptors. The procedure is performed in an accredited hospital and patients are able to return to a normal life within days of checking in.

Accelerated withdrawal symptoms occur within hours instead of days, as with traditional detox programs. Once patients wake up, they are no longer physically dependent on opiates and they are unaware of the withdrawal that occurred during the procedure.

After-care is closely monitored and patients are prescribed a daily dose of non-addictive Naltrexone, an opiate inhibitor to eliminate physical cravings for opiates. The procedure helps patients detox from opiates including OxyContin, Vicodin, Norco, heroin, LAAM, Dilaudid, Darvocet, Percocet, Percodan, MS Contin, Stadol, Suboxone and Tramadol.

Patients may also wish to take advantage of our Domus Retreat after-care facility where therapy and spa services merge to provide premiere holistic care for mind, body and spirit.
