Rapid Heroin Detox

by artc on April 21, 2010

Rapid detox is a medical procedure that is performed while the patient is under anesthesia then the heroin addict is administered a controlled immersion of opiate antagonists to achieve complete system detoxification in an accelerated period of hours rather than days or weeks.

This cleansing process is performed while the patient is sleeping and eliminates the suffering and cravings that accompany physical withdrawal from addiction. Although this treatment is still considered experimental; studies have shown it to have a higher success rate than traditional heroin detox methods where long hospital stays may be required.

What you need to know about Rapid detox

There are a couple more things you should know about Rapid detox. Number one it is very expensive it can cost thousands of dollars. So if you are going to use this method I would suggest that you are dam sure that you want to stop using heroin unless you have money growing on trees somewhere.

The next thing you should be aware of is this procedure can be dangerous. Some people who have used this method have actually died from being under for too long.

If I were still using and was considering this method you can bet you last dollar that I would be doing some serious research and asking each rehab that I was thinking of using for my deox about the there program. At this time I would ask about the price of the detox and if they have any patients that have died.

These procedures are performed in a full service rapid heroin detox facilities under strict medical supervision. Follow up plans are created addressing psychological issues and providing life skills to assist in the recovery process.

While this procedure is being used with increasing success, there is no blanket guarantee that the patient will not experience some adverse effects.

Because he or she has received a complete system detoxification, his tolerance level has returned to zero. Therefore a “fix” can result in a heroin overdose or death. Some patients may also be at risk if they cannot tolerate the anesthesia which allows them to sleep during detox. Thyroid problems have also been known to develop following  rapid heroin detox.

Costs can range from $7500.00 to $10,000.00 depending on a number of factors, such as the drug used and the patients medical history.

Today this procedure is more widely recognized as the solution for returning patients to a productive life in a matter of days freeing them from the adverse and uncontrollable symptoms of addiction.

There are drawbacks to this procedure one being that there is no follow up care after the rapid opiate detox. The other is patients have actually died from complications of this procedure. Some patients report being that they are very satisfied with procedure while others say it is lacking. The choice is yours to make but you must take action and stop using heroin some kind of way no matter what!

Good luck
