They sleep lightly under deep sedation for a short time and awake without the conscious awareness of the withdrawal symptoms that occurred while they were out. We manage the accelerated withdrawal phase so effectively that patients can recover more quickly and thoroughly. We also offer an inclusive recovery retreat for continum care after anesthesia assisted Opana rapid detox is completed.
