Methadone Detox

Methadone detox removes the Methadone that replaced the heroin, to make patients opiate free.

Methadone also relieves severe pain that is not alleviated by other pain medications.

Most Methadone detox patients--either for pain or replacement management--do not intentionally become dependent on Methadone. In most cases, they are following a doctor’s recommendation.

Overuse triggers a patient’s dependency, and it progresses because of:

1. The alleviation of pain from acute and chronic disorders, surgery, or subsequent withdrawal symptoms.
2. The anesthetizing psychological effect of the drug against depression, trauma, or other social insecurities.
3. Uninformed use or misuse of Methadone as a substitute for heroin, morphine, or other drug addiction.

In any case, the intent comes from a need to maintain stability or to avoid opiate withdrawal. Many patients who come for Methadone detox became dependent on the narcotic beyond just maintenance or pain relief. Millions of Americans have done the same by increasing their doses of pain relievers to high, un-prescribed levels of consumption.

We consult with Methadone detox patients who lean toward addiction because they must maintain their augmented usage at dangerous cost.

The Waismann Method Difference

At the Waismann Method for Rapid Detoxification, we treat prescription dependency as a reversible condition. We view the need for Methadone detox as a legitimate chemical imbalance caused by overuse. We treat our patients with professional, dignified and respectful care. Our success rate is 72-74% after one year of Anesthesia Assisted Medical Opiate Detoxification.

1. Our managing doctors have much more formal training in intensive care and anesthesiology than those at other programs.
2. We will not minimize the patient’s hospital stay to save costs.
3. Our protocol establishes the industry standard for minimum anesthesia use.
4. The Waismann Method does NOT use opiate-based substitutes like Suboxone.
5. Our medical staff maintains pain specialists who also run medical testing.

Our patients tell us that the Waismann Method for Methadone detox is more humane and effective for them than previous detox at traditional rehab programs.

Optional After-Care and Treatment Center

To compliment the extreme physical care our patients receive through Methadone detoxification, the Waismann Method has also established an after-care environment for psychological cleansing.

At Domus Retreat, Methadone detox patients can re-establish themselves in a peaceful atmosphere of dignity, respect, and optimism.

Domus Retreat provides intensive psychotherapy that concentrates on a person’s core thinking and those patterns that led to dependency. We design each patient’s Domus Retreat program with:

• Individualized treatment

Domus Retreat’s unique facility allows us to blend this exclusive treatment with ultra-luxurious spa elements and physical care. We believe the combination helps our guests to achieve significant and lasting change for sustained recovery.

Due to the intimate nature of Domus Retreat, participation is exclusively limited to 6 patients at a time.
