Rapid Opiate Detox
Rapid opiate detox is a medically supervised hospital procedure to rapidly detoxify the body from opiates and other substances (drugs and alcohol). Rapid detox is gaining popularity in Los Angeles rehabilitation centers as an effective tool in the rehabilitation and recovery process. Rapid detox occurs while a person is under sedation so that the brains opiate receptors are blocked from receiving more chemicals found within opiates. Drug addiction treatment centers like Malibu Rehab administer additional medications to accelerate the physical reactions to the rapid withdrawal while the patient is unconscious. This rapid detox process is safe and faster that the regular medical detox process.
Drug rehabilitation centers in Los Angeles warn that opiates are very dangerous and highly addictive narcotics. Opiates are derived from opium or opium poppy plants and can also be produced synthetically. Some opiate medications are used in prescription drugs as painkillers and cough suppressing qualities. One of the most popular forms of an opiate is heroin, a semi-synthetic opiate that can have a white, brown or even black tar-like appearance. This drug can be used intravenously and can also be sniffed or smoked. Rapid detox is one of the only known methods that aids in heroin and opiate addiction.
In the field of rapid detox the method that is most well known is called the Waismann Method and is considered the best type of medical detox around. The Waismann Method can also be referred to as “Neuro-Regulation” and takes place under the supervision of a medical professional in a hospital or a licensed drug treatment center with medical supervision and appropriate medical equipment for a drug treatment facility. This method of Neuro-Regulation helps a person detox by clearing out the opiate receptors of a person’s brain with the person is under the influence of anesthesia. This way, the process is not painful or uncomfortable. Once the process has been completed the patient will not experience what is known as withdrawal and will be able to return home or go to a drug treatment center. Rapid opiate detox has the ability to reverse a patient’s physical dependency to opiates and the rapid detox process eliminates dangerous side effects of other detox methods.
During the process the patient is put under the influence of an opiate antagonist and in order to complete the treatment process once the detox has been completed addicts are encouraged to seek counseling at addiction treatment centers. Once the detox has been completed individuals will be able to think clearly again and with a rational mind.
Some detoxification procedures can be more painful and the withdrawal process even stifling. Instead, rapid opiate detox offers a quick alternative to this process and is virtually painless for the individuals. Once the rapid opiate detoxification has taken place the body and mind have an opportunity to begin the opiate addiction treatment process and live life free of the need for these dangerous drugs.
