Opioids & Opiates

What Are Opiates?

Opiates are natural alkaloid compounds found in the opium poppy plant. The primary psychoactive compounds found in the plant includes morphine, codeine, and thebaine. People use this type of drug for both recreational and medicinal purposes. There are opiates that come from the natural opium plant, while some manufacture opiates to have the same chemical structure as the natural ones. Opiates include a wide range from prescription painkillers such as fentanyl and morphine, to illegal drugs like heroin. However, all opiates have the ability to depress and slow down the central nervous system, regardless of their manufacturing process.

"A dear friend underwent rapid detox at the Waismann Method and all we can say is “THANK YOU”. My friend had (for years) been in a seemingly endless cycle of rehab and relapse. Even at some of the top rehabs, he still seemed to find his way back to opiates. I’m so grateful to say that it’s been almost a full year since his treatment at the Waismann Method and he is better than ever! He is finally himself again. Thank you to the caring, knowledgeable, warm and patient staff that supported and assisted my friend from start to finish! It was a blessing that we heard about the Waismann Method - our only wish is that we tried it sooner!"

The staff encourages you along the way and were incredibly patient with our family and all the questions we had.
