Opiates
Opiates elicit very powerful effects. Rapid detox counteracts them.
Opiates activate opiate receptors throughout the brain
and body. Once an opiate reaches the brain, it rapidly affects that area
of the brain in two ways: pleasure (or reward) and
pain relief. Opiates replace natural
substances that the brain itself produces, known as endorphins.
Endorphins help control our respiration, nausea, vomiting, pain modulation,
and hormonal regulation. Under chemical dependency, the opiate now
takes control.
Stimulation of opiate receptors by opioid prescription drugs activates
the pleasure circuit by releasing greater amounts of dopamine. This causes
an intense euphoria. Though it lasts briefly, a contented sense of reward
follows. Excessive receptor stimulation leads to addiction.
Because this occurs gradually, many victims remain unaware that
they need treatment like rapid detox until after they have become
highly dependent.
STATISTICS
Surveys on non-medical use of painkillers indicate increasing need among
the US population for treatment, such as rapid detox, for prescription,
chemical dependency:
- Every year nearly 2.2 million Americans use prescription painkillers
for non-medical use. (i)
- Among persons aged 12 to 49, the average age at first use of illicit
pain relievers in 2005 was 21.2 years (see
chart below).
- In 2005, 4.7 million (2%) persons aged 12 or older used prescription-type
pain‑relievers non-medically in the past month.
- In all adult age groups and some communities, prescription
painkiller abuse exceeds cocaine and marijuana
use.

- Among persons aged 12 or older who used pain-relievers non-medically,
59.8% reported that the source of the drug used was from a friend or
relative for free.
- Another 16.8% reported they acquired the drug from one doctor.
- Only 4.3% received the pain-relievers from a drug dealer or other
stranger, and only 0.8% reported buying the drug on the Internet.
- Non-medical use of prescription-type drugs among
young adults aged 18 to 25 increased to 6.3% in 2005.
This, due to an increase in pain-reliever use to 4.7% in 2005.
The WAISMANN METHOD of RAPID DETOXIFICATION
The Waismann Method of rapid detoxification is an anesthesia-assisted
procedure that allows patients to return to an opiate-free, productive
live. It spares them almost all of the
unbearable distress and symptoms triggered by withdrawal.
- Rapid detox spares patients fear, suffering, and shame.
- We follow a strict safety protocol that other programs
do not follow.
If you are chained to painkillers, or if someone
you know and love suffers under a prescription chemical dependency,
consider rapid detox.
