September 15, 2014 (Detroit, MI) - Rapid opioid detox programs began opening around the country just over a 10 years ago. While many in the medical community questioned the safety and effectiveness of the rapid detox method, it has successfully treated opiate addiction in hundreds of thousands of patients in the past decade.
The withdrawal effect of cleaning opiates out of the body is a painful and difficult time for a drug addict. They often have to endure a week of abdominal pain, vomiting, tremors and severe muscle spasms and pain that comes with drug withdrawal. The premise behind rapid detox is getting a patient through drug withdrawal in a mere 48 hours, while they are under sedation.
The appeal behind putting someone into such an accelerated state of detox lies within the anesthesia and sedation during the procedure. With the patient under anesthesia, he or she feels far less discomfort and pain, and awakens only after the most physically difficult part of detoxing has ended. The rapid detox process has helped people overcome addictions to opiates such as heroin, methadone and morphine, as well as opiate prescription painkillers like Vicodin and OxyContin.
While people wanting to overcome an addiction are attracted to this quick and easy approach to detox, skeptics have rejected the idea of rapid detox due to the risks associated with being under anesthesia for the duration of the procedure. MDS Drug Detox in Southfield, MI, was the first rapid detox center in the United States founded and operated by Board-Certified physicians. A Board-Certified Anesthesiologist, along with the Addictionologist, perform the rapid detox procedure in a setting much like an Intensive Care unit, with constant monitoring and care by the medical staff.
During the actual detox procedure itself, doctors use a specific medication that blocks the opiate bond in the brain and allows the body time to flush out the toxins and break the chemical addiction to the opiates without the patient having to endure the physical pain involved in doing so. When this process is complete, the patient is taken off sedation and monitored closely. MDS is the only rapid detox facility that offers unlimited aftercare by its treating physicians at the facility. Patients are urged to stay nearby so they can be looked in on for a few days following the rapid detox procedure.
Modern medicine has also addressed the problem of putting an addict through the physical detox without the psychological treatment for addiction. A drug called Naltrexone continues the work of the rapid drug detox by keeping the brain from sending craving signals to the body. The opiate / brain bond is broken with Naltrexone, allowing the recovering addict to address the psychological issues surrounding their addiction, while being able to do so free of the physical addiction.
The success rates of Naltrexone and rapid detox are promising. With the existence of a clinic like MDS Drug Detox and its Board-Certified physicians caring for addicts looking for help, the rapid detox method is proving to be a safe and effective way to treat addiction in the United States.
