Waismann Method Cost

Investing in Your Health

The Waismann Method doctors have been leaders in rapid opiate detoxification for more than a decade because of their commitment and responsibility to patient safety and success. Our team of medical professionals and therapists possess a keen understanding for what patients go through mentally and physically during the transition to becoming opiate free. Our proven techniques have resulted in one of the highest success rates in the world.

Treatment with the Waismann Method includes a comprehensive set of techniques, including pre-procedure evaluation and care, rapid detoxification treatment, post-procedure facility for further monitoring, and six-week follow-up with therapist to ensure a smooth transition. Each step in the process is crucial to the safety and success of our patients. We never provide detoxification treatment without proper pre- and post-procedure diagnostics, as this poses many risks to the safety and wellbeing of patients.

Many people may not realize that rapid opiate detoxification is a true medical procedure and must be treated as such. Without proper evaluation and monitoring before, during, and after the procedure, patients are at risk for serious, and sometimes life-threatening, health complications.

In the past few years, “rapid detox” centers have begun popping up around the country offering “miracle cures” for opioid detoxification. Unfortunately, many of these centers do not follow proper safety protocol, provide follow-up care, or use appropriate medical facilities and professionals to perform the procedures. Sadly, the goal is usually to keep costs low and shuffle in as many patients as possible in a short amount of time.

Our patients are usually with us as an inpatient for a period of 5 to 10 days. The total cost of their stay is typically $18,000 to $26,000 based on individual medical and dependency history. An assessment with the medical staff is made prior to each patient’s arrival to determine cost, so no surprises or additional charges are added after the patient is admitted. There are several other benefits built into our cost of stay for patients. 

For example, if patients are traveling from out of town, we receive them at the airport upon landing and fully care for them during their stay. Additionally, patients do not have to worry about lodging, transportation or food and do not need a relative or loved on to accompany them if they choose to come alone. Some other treatment programs start at a low cost, but add additional costs for services that are imperative for the patient’s wellbeing before and after the procedure.

If you calculate what is offered for $10,000-$15,000 for a 24 to 48 hour inpatient program compared to what you pay and receive for 5 to 10 days with the Waismann Group, you will find that your safety is never compromised with our team, and the treatment is actually a lot less expensive. At the Waismann Group, we take pride in caring for our patients and offer them unparalleled care and attention throughout their entire stay with us.

What Do You Receive With the Waismann Method?

Pre-Medication

The Waismann Method of Rapid Opiate Detox  begins when patients are admitted to our full-service accredited hospital, provided with a private room, and then given a comprehensive physical examination.

Each and every patient undergoes a complete diagnostic work up, including but not limited to: evaluation of blood and urine, and assessment of heart, lung and kidney function. Depending on each patient, our doctors will provide additional diagnostics to fully assess their condition

The pre-treatment duration and procedure are based on each patient's individual medical, drug, and psycho-social history.  Several specialized physicians in our hospital may be consulted on an individual basis.  A safe and comfortable experience is only ensured by having a true understanding of each patient’s medical and psycho-social situation.

Treatment Procedure

Once the pre-medication process is complete, patients are transferred to our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for comprehensive personalized monitoring.  One of our board-certified anesthesiologists performs the Waismann Method of Accelerated Opiate Neuro-Regulation (AONR).  Treatment is conducted while the patient sleeps comfortably under deep sedation for a period of 1 to 2 hours.
 
While sedated patients feel no discomfort.  When they awake they are free of opiate dependency and have no memory of the withdrawal process. The accelerated withdrawal occurs within a period of hours, rather than days or weeks as with traditional methods.  After the patients awake, they are closely monitored by the nursing staff for the rest of the day and night. Our medical staff is specially trained to ensure patient comfort and safety before, during and after the Waismann Method detoxification procedure.

After Treatment

Typically patients are in the hospital for additional 1 day after detoxification to ensure a stable physical transition. Patients are then transitioned to an enjoyable stay at the Domus Retreat (www.domusretreat.com).

We created Domus Retrfeat based on an understanding of the necessity for an after care residence that allows each patient to normalize and find their physical and mental based line. The only after care options patients had in the past involved rehabilitation centers where judgment, chores and impersonal care was the usual, or they would be sent to hotel rooms with family members to care for them following treatment. This is especially dangerous because family members are not properly trained or prepared to assess and provide the appropriate care for patients. 

Domus is a treatment retreat that was specifically designed to care for Waismann clients.  The specialized staff at the Domus Retreat supervises clients as they transition to a new life without drugs.  Opiate dependency causes numerous changes in neurotransmitters of the brain chemistry as well as the function of other organs.   Domus provides continued care and monitoring, allowing patients to regain the necessary physical and emotional strength for successful rehabilitation.

Finally, the Waismann Method includes a six-week follow-up program with a therapist that can be done in person or by phone. This is a wonderful way to help patients deal with life on life's terms, and to have ongoing support while returning back to a normal life without narcotics.

In order to ensure the best aftercare treatment possible, The Waismann Method combined with Domus Retreat is a cutting-edge approach that creates an individual, customized aftercare program specific to each patient’s unique needs.  This gives our medical staff an opportunity to truly get to know the patients and make an educated assessment about their needs, what they are comfortable with, and what type of aftercare will give them the greatest chances for success and avoiding relapse.

Additional After-care Options

We have additional after-care treatment options designed specifically to meet our patients’ needs. These options give our medical staff and therapists additional time to aid patients through psychological and physical issues. In turn, patients our allowed a chance to regain their physical and mental strength with the supervision and assistance of our staff.

Weigh Your Options

When entering a detox treatment program, patient safety, comfort, and success should be the highest concerns. The Waismann Method offers the safest, most humane treatment for opiate detoxification, and allows patients to carry on with life with their dignity intact.
