www.opiates.com – In the 12 hours it will take Troy to get from his home to California for OxyContin detox, the young man makes a risky decision to shoot up in an airport bathroom to ward off withdrawal. This 48 Hours news clip shows the seriousness of opiate addiction and abuse. And Troy, like most people whove become dependent upon their prescription painkillers, does what he has to in order to avoid withdrawal. Troy is undergoing rapid OxyContin detox offered by the Waismann Institute. In just over an hour, program doctors are able to end Troys physical dependence to OxyContin using a renowned medical procedure that cleanses the drug from his opiate receptors. This happens while Troy is lightly sedated, unaware that he is experiencing withdrawal.

I don’t think nicotine is a harder to quit that other drugs. Its just that nicotine isnt as bad as say heroin or crack, so they use nicotine to cope with the addiction they cant persue anymore.

My step-father became an oxy addict about 3 years after he married my mom, it’s honestly one of the worst addictions to watch.. He was successful, a property manager at one of the major rehabilitation centers around where we lived, and happy with 2 kids and a beautiful wife.. NOW, 12 years later, after 3 failed rehab attempts, he’s been divorced for 4 years and in prison for 3.. THINK before you take opiates, if you’re gonna do drugs, choose something safer and less physically addicting..

it is certainly a good start to have all the opiates cleansed from your brain and body so that you get past the “relapse” stage in recovery when you first begin the lifetime process. i have seen many people in recovery that truly want freedom but they usually can’t stay away from opiates, especially, long enough to “detox” and clean their system. this treatment seems to give you a good start and make it possible to begin treating the real problem, which of course is the addict himself.SURRENDER

Anyone that is not addicted to opiates simply do not understand how hard it is to get away from them. I am addicted to Vicodin and doing my best to get away. The Waismann method is effective but very expensive. Not all can afford it.

Have you overdosed yet? I hope not because it seems you have the potential to take more then your body can handle with such denial. I wish you the best though, I hope your off of it now fully.

the only way to withdrawal is on your own with your tv and some weed.

addiction is a human condition and there is no cure except for continuous therapy or AA or NA or some spiritual help/church fellowship, I dont believe people are permantely healed from it I believe that its a thorn in our sides that will be with us till the day we die and that its part of our genetic makeup .

I have worked with the Waismann Method for six years and am personally aquainted with the medical staff who perform the procedure. Each patient is treated with the utmost respect. As an addiction specialist working in the aftercare facility, Domus Retreat, I can confidently attest to the fact that this cutting edge medicine has assisted many in successfully treating their opiate dependency.

The only thing about rapid detox is it doesn’t address the bone jarring anxiety and crushing depression (PAWS). I think most long time users will agree the physical withdrawal symptoms suck, but it’s nothing compared to the mental torture, which can last years depending on your habit and how long you’ve used.

that doctor is doing his job, he cleans you and its up to you to stay clean. That Washington jail holding cell looks absolutely horrifying, that would make any addict steer clear of their jurisdiction.
