DRUG REHABILITATION REFERRAL SERVICES Rapid Detox

Drug and Alcohol Detoxification has long been accepted as an essential, although often difficult, first step towards recovery from addiction. In the absence of professional medical assistance, most will fail in an attempt to free themselves from the grip of drug and/or alcohol addiction. Successful detoxification is essential before long term recovery can begin.

Detox is not a "cure" for addiction. Detoxification is the first step in a process that is necessary to engage oneself in rehabilitation. Designed to reduce withdrawal symtoms for individuals dependant on heroin, methadone, Oxycontin, opium, Percocet / Percodan or codeine, anesthesia assisted opiate detoxification allows for engagement in a variety of aftercare programs aimed at placing drug addiction into remission.

Purpose of Rapid Detox

The purpose of Rapid Detox is simple, to reduce, minimize, or eliminate all together, the signs and symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. This decreases the chances of relapse and increases the likely hood of a full recovery.

Rapid Detox is not intended to replace a fully comprehensive treatment and recovery program. It is simply "a 'procedure' designed to help an individual tolerate the withdrawal symptoms from opiates with much greater comfort."

"Anesthesia Assisted Opiate Detoxification" is the first step, representing only the beginning of a long process of healing and recovery. Once an individual is 'clean' of opiates, it is always recommended they make some form of counseling their next step in the recovery process. Aftercare is a paramount component of the recovery process!

  1. Detox duration depends on the condition of the patient. As you said, it's the first step and it will give result if the patient is ready to the next step.
