Rapid Opiate Detox Treatment

Rapid opiate detox treatment

When people are talking about rapidly detoxing from opiates they may be referring to rapid opiate detox. This method is generally used to detox from either opiate pain relievers or heroin. If you happen to thinking about using this procedure you should definitely think about this with a great deal of concern.

Rapid opiate detox treatment

When one goes to rapid opiate detox the patient is basically put to sleep with anesthesia and they the opiates are rapidly cleaned from the body with prescription medications. This can take 3or 4 hours. When they do awaken the idea is that they will experience no withdrawal symptoms; however, there have been reports of some patients experiencing slight withdrawals. This is really great because going through heroin withdrawal can be hell without any medications to rely on.

Now keep in mind that this ultra rapid opiate detox procedure is expensive and I have of yet to hear of any insurance that will touch it. The price range can be anywhere from $10.000 to $20.000. This treatment will not be for your average drug addict. Most addicts can not afford to go to any type of detox without some kind of funding be that state federal or family.

Another drawback for rapid heroin detox is they do not provide any after care like conventional drug addiction rehab; for instance in conventional rehab you will go to residential treatment after your detox where you will attend group, lectures on recovery, 12 step meetings, and individual therapy. In rapid detox when your detox is complete you go home.

I can tell you this that it has been my experience that those who only go in for a detox do not stay clean; in fact many leave rehab and use as soon as they can score some dope or they have it waiting for them when they do leave. This is sad but I will be honest I have left rehab and used very quickly. The choice is yours but please stop using opiates today.

Good luck
