Darvocet Dependency
Darvocet dependency can strike anybody. Darvocet is a combination
of acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Propoxyphene prescribed by doctors to relieve
mild to moderate pain. In Darvocet, Propoxyphene, which can be habit forming,
binds to the pain receptors in the brain so that the sensation of pain is
reduced, while acetaminophen halts the production of pain-causing prostaglandins.
Darvocet should be taken under the careful guidance of a physician: no more
than one tablet by mouth every four hours for a limited period of time. Larger
or more frequent doses or extended usage can result in dependency-and in
the United States, Darvocet dependency, along with dependency to other pain
medications, has escalated dramatically. An estimated 1.6 million Americans
used prescription-type pain relievers non-medically for the first time in
1998. This represents a significant increase since the 1980s, when there
were generally fewer than 500,000 new users per year.
Darvocet Detox
Darvocet
detox can be difficult because the drug is an opiate (a naturally occurring
constituent of opium.) Therefore, a patient is quite susceptible to becoming
both mentally and physically addicted to Darvocet. Opiates travel rapidly
through the bloodstream to the brain, where they stimulate opiate receptors,
triggering intense feelings of pleasure and reward. This quick high is
followed a state of relaxation and contentment that lasts for several hours.
Concurrently, opiates act directly on the respiratory center in the brainstem,
causing a decrease in the breathing rate of the user. When Darvocet and/or
other opiate-derivative drugs are used incorrectly, this breathing slow-down
can be dangerous and even fatal.
While it is a mild painkiller, Darvocet works by altering the user's perception
of pain. Many users claim that it doesn't stop the pain, it merely makes
it bearable-thus creating the perception that the pill is necessary for physical
comfort. Once that happens, a patient easily becomes addicted to Darvocet.
Traditional methods of treatment for Darvocet dependency-talk therapy along
with medicinal treatment to lessen the pain of withdrawal-often have low
success rates (less than 10% after the first year).
A newer and quicker method
of Darvocet detox is Accelerated Neuro-Regulation (ANR), formerly known as
rapid detox. This rapid drug treatment, which is being used with increasing
success for opiate dependency, is also called the Waismann Method. It treats
Darvocet dependency as a physical disease that can be overcome with advanced
medical techniques. ANR eliminates the cravings that often accompany traditional
opiate detox treatments. The Waismann Method has been clinically proven to
be effective for Darvocet dependency.
During Darvocet detox using ANR or the Waismann Methodsm, the
body's opiate receptors are cleansed of opiates while the patient is anaesthetized
and asleep. The goal is to rid the body of physical Darvocet dependency:
the patient literally sleeps through physical withdrawal. The Waismann Method
reports higher success rates in treating opiate dependency than do clinics
utilizing more traditional techniques. The most effective method of Darvocet
detox is the Waismann Method of Accelerated Neuro-Regulation (ANR), formerly
known as rapid detox. A year of clinical research has shown that addicted
patients who have undergone ANR treatment have a greater than 72% chance
of maintaining an opiate-free life.
