The Waismann Method utilizes standard sedation, similar to what one would experience during oral surgery. Despite patients being admitted for a period of 7 to 10 days, the actual detoxification process under anesthesia lasts only a couple of hours.

We use the same type of anesthesia commonly utilized in oral surgeries and colonoscopies to ensure the comfort and safety of the patients during the detox procedure. To provide the highest level of care, our assisted detox process is performed in a private ICU room under the supervision of a quadruple board-certified anesthesiologist. We do not use ketamine as part of our protocol.

Thank you for sharing your story with us. We are so glad to hear that you are now in recovery and have been drug free for over two years after such a difficult journey. We understand how overwhelming it can feel to contemplate seeking treatment when struggling with addiction, and we are glad to know that you were able to find the support you needed to begin your recovery journey. Thank you for your bravery and for sharing your experience with our community. We wish you all the best on your continued journey of recovery. God Bless!

Can I just ask how? I'm on methadone

Hi Anna, we are just South of Los Angeles- In Orange County. We can also provide transportation to our facility. Please feel free to give us a call 310-205-0808

Get Kratom Mama.. take 20 grams a day for 5 Days- then 10 grams a day for 2 days- then 5 grams a day for 2 days…. Then stop… it’ll take 80-85% of your withdrawals away….

Kratom is an opioid and we treat many people who started kratom to get off other opioids. You can even read about people's experiences quitting kratom on reddit- it's not easy.

@@Sattlefattle76 I wouldn’t even know how to get it and unfortunately I am in no position to go through even 15% of withdrawals. I alone take care of my brain damaged and paralyzed mother so I have to be alert and ready to save her life in the blink of an eye. I’ve done so 6 times already. I never sleep deeply and the sound of her breathing stopping wakes me up instantly. I just use enough methadone to keep the withdrawals away so I’m fully functional. When the inevitable day comes when she passes away, then I’ll be able to think of myself and give detox a try again.

@@WaismannMethod thank you for the information

There's no magic here. We make the detox much more comfortable and safer and support the patient through the process of becoming opioid free. However, the patient has to take the necessary steps to remain off opioids long term.

We're here to help you. Feel free to call us with any questions and we can also provide a consultation with the medical director to make sure this is the right treatment for you.

It's recommended to take naltrexone at least for the first couple of months, but the patient doesn't have to take it. May I ask why you wouldn't want to take it?

@@WaismannMethod *because of the whole purpose of not being on any chemicals? couldnt that also cause possible withdrawals? I've already submitted my info to you guys, but ive been so hesitant :/*

No the Nalrexone/Vivitrol doesn't cause any withdrawal because it's not a narcotic and it just blocks the opiate receptors. The patient has the decision whether or not to take this medication and how long to take it. Some decide to take it for just a couple months and others for 1-2 years because they prefer to have a safety net.

Ibogaine is illegal in the U.S. It is a hallucinogen so people may hallucinate through the withdrawal but they will still have all the symptoms. This is dangerous as the patient can become dehydrated or suffer other harmful medical complications.

Methadone is a very tough drug to detox from on your own. We detox even high levels of 150mg+ using this method. Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you.

We detox patients taking 200 milligrams or more a day. Please feel free to call us for a consult 800-423-2482

Hello Adam, the cost starts at $17,800. If you want to discuss your individual history over the phone we can provide a consultation with the exact cost 800-423-2482.

We are located in Southern California, just south of Los Angeles. It is private pay only and the cost usually starts at $17,800. Please feel free to call us for any additional questions 800-423-2482

Naltrexone is not a narcotic like Suboxone. I do understand your hesitation about rapid detox. However, we have been detoxing patients from methadone for over 20 years. In fact, it's one of the top three drugs we most commonly detox since it is so hard to get off of without medical support. No one should have to stay on methadone for life. I'm happy to answer any questions for you.

Yes absolutely. The patient sleeps through the acute withdrawal and then we provide medical, physical and emotional support throughout the adjustment period. This way the patient doesn't have to go through months of horrible withdrawal symptoms.

@@WaismannMethod thank you for your time it is appreciated and that was very reassuring .i am giving this very serious consideration.

I would love to tell you how this patient is doing and how many others are doing. But, due to patient confidentiality I cannot provide an update. It's important for our patients to have comfort and trust that their treatment is private.

Actually the rapid detox procedure takes less than two hours. The patient is detoxed very quickly but there's an adjustment period while the body adapts to being without opioids (as you mentioned). That's why we provide around the clock support during this time.

Come down slowly 5mil a week you will wean yourself off it. I did

No there's only 1 location for the Waismann Method and that is in Southern California. We do treat patients from all over but you would have to fly here.

Waismann Method Rapid Detox Center man that’s a shame, I don’t think they would let me in unfortunately due to me being bloody stupid in days gone by. I was hoping this could be done in the uk. Just out a matter of interest how long do you keep patients under for? And what is the cost. Thanks for your reply and thanks for the work you do you really are giving people a second chance.

The procedure has changed since these videos were made. Now the procedure lasts 1-2 hours so the patients is only under anesthesia for a couple of hours. The cost ranges from $17,800 to $22,800 in most cases. Absolutely, our goal is to show patients that they can get through the withdrawal and be opiate free. Opiate dependence is treatable with the right medical care. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you receive the treatment you need.

Treatment costs are as follows: $19,800 for a five-day/four-night inpatient program, $21,800 for a seven-day/six-night program, and $24,800 for a ten-day/nine-night inpatient stay. Please note that insurance coverage is not available for any part of the program. We will discuss the length and cost with you before scheduling to ensure transparency and provide you with all the necessary information to make the best decision for your treatment. Feel free to call 800-423-2482

No after the procedure he is completely opioid free. Prior to the procedure we keep patients medicated so they don't start withdrawing until the detox procedure begins.

This procedure does work very well for heroin. It only works for opioids, so unfortunately it won't work for methamphetamine.

@@WaismannMethod Thank you, One more Question, How much would that procedure be?👍🏼

It depends on your length of stay and starts around $17k for the hospital and aftercare.

We help patients get through the physical withdrawal and provide medication for cravings. The therapist at the aftercare facility provides patients with an assessment of their emotional condition and recommends a treatment plan based on those needs. Addiction is often the result of repeatedly self-medicating distress. Therefore it is not something can be quickly fixed, but by being opioid free and emotionally present, the person can receive the proper treatment to address those emotional issues. Usually our patients receive therapy while continuing a productive schedule, like working.

@@WaismannMethod yes i know. A treatment plan based on methadone or suboxone or nalaxone. Which you pay for daily and take until your addicted to that too. This video is inctedibly misleading. Your making addicts think they wont get withdrawal symptoms if they do this method. Which you know is not true. The cravings mean nothing. I crave donuts but if i dont eat them for a day i wont feel like puking, pooping Unconrtollabley , nose runing and yawning also unconrtrollabley every literal 5 minutes. And feel like my blood has been replaced with vix. While you shake n shiver in your own diareah. The problem addicts have is the PHYSICAL Withdrawal symptoms. Not the cravings! And big pharma wants us all to cut out the dealer and start buying from the government. I have personally tried EVERY legal METHOD out there. There is no hope for us addicts. We will be addicted to one thing or the other til we die.

I can understand why you feel this way. Many of our patients feel very hopeless because they have tried rehabs, Suboxone, cold turkey and nothing has worked. Nalrexone or vivitrol is used to control cravings after detox but this medication is not habit forming. We never prescribe Suboxone or Methadone but those drugs eventually require another detox. Our patients leave completely free of opioids. Now, there is no such thing as a painless detox. We tell our patients that they will have withdrawal symptoms after the procedure. However, our patients are in a full service hospital and are kept as comfortable as is absolutely possible.

We actually have people flying from all over the world. Of course at this time, with everything that is going on, it would not be possible. But as soon as we reach some normality, you could fly into Los Angeles and we would care for you around the clock. Usually for 10 days total.

@@WaismannMethod price?

The cost of 10 days is $22,800

@@WaismannMethod ill not be able to in this lifetime then.

You are absolutely right. Each patient needs to receive individualized treatment for their conditions whether it's chronic pain, opioid addiction or mental health issues. A medication often isn't the only course of treatment necessary. Usually a combination of medication and therapy is more effective.

We have been trying to get insurance coverage for a long time. The problem is that insurance considers drug addiction to be a behavioral health issue so they don't offer coverage for what we provide. In the future we hope it will change so more people in need can seek out appropriate medical care. It's not fair that so many are stuck taking maintenance drugs for years.

@@WaismannMethod It truly isn't. The other thing that is odd is that your procedure is often demonized. People are quick to dismiss it without knowing anything about it. They mention relapse. My retort is detox isn't treatment and shouldn't be thought of as such. If a person slips it could very well have to do with the actions that failed to take after detoxing. Recovery requires work and commitment. Blaming the people that got the drug out of your system doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I honestly think a facility that somehow combines medication assisted treatment and rapid detox would be genius. That way people could use the medication to curb cravings for a while, adapt to life, work on themselves and then when they feel they are ready do the procedure. If I win the lottery I'm starting my own facility. I've been dreaming about it for years. Someday... maybe.... ;-)

@@JMT34237 The issue, is also that different places offer "rapid detox" as an overnight miracle when there is no such thing. False promises, lead to distrust, and that is happening often with clinics offering sedation-assisted opioid detox. Opioid use changes a number of different organs, and after detox patients need adequate inpatient care to safely start the regulation process. Chemical regulation will occur based on many factors, including age, DNA, pre-existing conditions, drug of choice and etc...

The cost usually starts at $17,800 depending on the length of stay necessary. You can read more about the cost and look at financing options here: www.opiates.com/detox-cost/
