This article is about a rapid opiate detoxification procedure called The Waismann Method.

The Waismann Method

Pre-Treatment:

The Waismann Method of rapid detox begins in a hospital where the patient is admitted and undergoes a comprehensive physical examination for a minimum of 24 hours before the procedure.
It is imperative that patients spend 24-48 hours in-patient so pre-medication can be properly administered to stabilize body functions which help to achieve a smooth and safe procedure.
The pre-treatment duration and procedure is based on each individual patient's medical and dependency history; the goal is to achieve the best results and safety required by the extensive protocol. Specialized physicians in the hospital consult patients with certain pre-existing conditions to minimize risks and maximize positive results and comfort.

Treatment:

Once pre-screening and pre-medication are completed, a Board-Certified Anesthesiologist performs the Waismann Method of Accelerated Neuro-Regulation treatment while the patient sleeps comfortably under a light anesthetic in an Intensive Care Unit.
Special medications facilitate the cleansing of opiates from the patient's opiate receptors.
The patient is carefully and closely monitored during the entire procedure.
This accelerated withdrawal syndrome has been known to occur within a period of hours, not days as with traditional methods.
Upon awakening, the patient is said to be no longer physically dependent on opiates and has no conscious awareness of experiencing the withdrawal process during the procedure.
Patients are monitored under rigorous care at the hospital to stabilize their mental and physical condition. Usually patients are discharged at least 24-48 hours, or when authorized by physicians.

In the past, the only alternative for opiate dependents was to undergo conventional detoxification procedures, requiring them to suffer the debilitating and dangerous withdrawal syndrome. However, times have changed. Recognizing opiate addiction as a reversible medical disorder was the first step.
