Rapid Detox and Medically Assisted Opioid Treatment Aftercare

Opioid addiction directly affects your brain pathways by altering the brain’s reward center; consequently, emotional and physical dependence occurs. A rapid detox treatment removes the opioids from the receptor sites, which leads to a challenging physical and emotional stabilization phase. Having the proper rapid detox aftercare can make this regulation period safer, smoother, and more successful.

Reducing the Risks of Rapid Detox by Providing the Necessary After-Care

Rapid detox under sedation represents a significant step in the journey towards sobriety, but it’s just the beginning. The process, while effective, requires the body and mind to adjust rapidly to an opioid-free state. This sudden change can manifest both physically and emotionally, often presenting challenges that patients might not anticipate. The immediate aftermath can lead to feelings of vulnerability, anxiety, and physical discomfort. These sensations can, unfortunately, drive a person towards immediate relapse – one of the most significant risks associated with detox.

Understanding the profound importance of the post-detox phase, it’s crucial to emphasize the role of inpatient aftercare. This period of supervised care provides the vital support that patients need as they navigate the often-turbulent waters of early recovery. It’s not merely about physical well-being but also about equipping patients with the emotional tools and resilience to forge ahead in their sobriety journey.

At the Waismann Method®, we’re acutely aware of these challenges. Once our medical team initiates the detox and determines that the patient is ready for the next phase, they transition to our exclusive, licensed recovery center, Domus Retreat.  At Domus, every patient receives an individualized care plan for a few days to a week, in the privacy of their own room. This sanctuary offers a serene space where patients can focus on healing, understanding their new opioid-free reality, and working closely with therapists to lay the foundation for a brighter, healthier future.

The Importance of a Comprehensive Opioid Treatment Program and Adequate Aftercare

We often hear these questions:

  • How am I going to feel after rapid detox?
  • Can I do just the hospital part and skip the aftercare?
  • What’s the difference between rapid detox and medically assisted detox?
  • How long will I be under anesthesia?
  • Do I feel any withdrawal symptoms?

 

These questions are valid and critical when choosing the best opiate detoxification treatment.

It is essential to understand that, for those undergoing rapid detox, once receptor sites are free from opioids, the detoxification process is not over.  Providing continuous care at a specialized inpatient recovery center should not be a rarity but a required safety protocol for all rapid detox centers. Waismann Method® has been a leader in setting the appropriate safety standards.

There is a significant physiological adjustment period in the first few days for those going through medically assisted detox or rapid detox. Patients are hypersensitive to any distress symptoms due to the brain’s lack of endorphins. Furthermore, different organ functions will try to regulate simultaneously. Trying to normalize the biological clock (difficulty sleeping or remaining asleep), gastrointestinal function, and emotional stability might not sound like much, but it could be pretty overwhelming when combined.

One of the main reasons patients become dependent on opiates is a lack of ability to handle uncomfortable feelings or distress. Having several post-detox symptoms together might elevate anxiety to a level beyond what a family member can take. Professional care like what a patient can receive at Domus Retreat can ensure their safety and provide the support needed to complete the adjustment phase. The results of not having the correct support post-treatment might jeopardize the patient’s well-being and increase the risk of relapse. For these reasons, we created Domus Retreat.

Domus Retreat Differences

Domus Retreat offers round-the-clock professional care and assistance. It supersedes all other aftercare programs, which have rigid doctrines and preset rules instead of prioritizing each individual’s needs. Domus provides specialized care and focuses solely on each patient’s well-being and comfort. Located in a gated, 6,000-square-foot estate nestled in a quiet and private neighborhood in Orange County, it offers treatments and amenities specially planned to maximize safety, comfort, privacy, and effectiveness after rapid drug detox or any medical opiate detoxification.

Individual Recovery Care

As much as friends and families want to help, they usually do not have the knowledge and experience needed to support a person through this uncertain time adequately. Underlying issues or disorders might surface right after detox. Common conditions such as depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders can cause a person to feel frustrated or even angry. If the situation is not immediately and appropriately handled, the individual might resort to drugs.

Having proper support minimizes anxiety, giving the person a better chance to safely navigate this regulation phase. It also allows for a better understanding of uncomfortable feelings and negative emotions that often become relapse triggers. Finding compassion, knowledge, and stability can be the best path to a healthy, opiate-free life.

 

At Domus Retreat, an executive drug addiction treatment center, your care is entrusted to a team of dedicated treatment professionals who will go above and beyond to help you succeed in the most respectful and pleasant way possible.

Choosing the Most Comprehensive Rapid Detox Center

When considering the best opiate detoxification treatment, an initial task should be to determine which detox center is taking real responsibility for your well-being. How fast should rapid detox be? There are no miracles in drug treatment, but responsible and capable professionals are willing to take the time needed for a real solution. It is essential to learn as much as you can about each opioid treatment program, so you can decide which one will work for you.
