Vicodin Detox & Addiction

Vicodin Detox

Vicodin Detox

Vicodin Detox can be a frightening--though successful--first step in recovery.

The Waismann Method of Rapid Detoxification from Vicodin addiction offers a humane treatment for individuals with physical dependency on opiate prescription drugs.

Most patients did not choose addiction to the prescription drug Vicodin. You may have started out by medicating your back pain, a physical disorder, or some other chronic pain syndrome under a physician’s care.

Some patients who began treating their pain with four Vicodin per day have increase to a non-medical dosage upwards of 20 to 30 pills daily. Many patients with Vicodin addiction fall into a terrible cycle of overdosing just to avoid withdrawal.

The medical community acknowledges Vicodin dependency as a chemical disorder in the central nervous system acquired from prescription opiate intake. Prolonged use of Vicodin will cause nerve cells in the body and brain to cease manufacturing its natural painkillers--or endorphins. The artificial opiates in Vicodin replace this natural bodily function. The result: dependency on a medication that causes traumatic withdrawal syndrome when that synthetic supply is broken.

The Waismann Method

Our patients at the Waismann Method undergo rapid Vicodin detoxification through an anesthesia-assisted procedure. It spares them almost all of the unbearable distress and symptoms triggered by Vicodin withdrawal. While muscle aches and exhaustion decrease dramatically, the advanced anesthesia wipes out almost all traumatic shaking and convulsing.

  • Our procedure considers Vicodin and opiate dependency as a treatable disorder of the central nervous system, disrupted by prolonged intake of Vicodin or opiate drugs.
  • Our rapid detox and custom post-care reverses a patient’s physical dependency on opiates—sparing them fear, suffering, and shame.
  • Vicodin rapid detox will permit most patients to resume their productive life in just days, not weeks.
  • The Waismann Method of rapid detoxification adheres to stringent safety protocol that other programs do not follow.

Vicodin Detox Caution

The medical risks at other rapid detox centers increase because:

  1. Other supervising physicians do not have the required training in intensive care or in appropriate anesthesiology.
  2. They lack the skills necessary to avert dangerous surges of adrenaline that may occur during detox. These norepinephrine surges, if unmonitored during withdrawal, might compress the coronary and peripheral blood vessels and escalate blood pressure and /or heart rate.
  3. Some centers reduce the time that patients remain in the hospital to minimize costs. This compromises the patient’s safety and the outcome of the detox procedure.

We believe that in-patient care must last a minimum of 4 days, with full medical assistance for pre-procedure, procedure and post-procedure transitional time.

Throughout 10 years of service, the Waismann Method has achieved successful detoxifications with the maximum time that patients spend under anesthesia limited to 1 or 2 hours. Less experienced doctors tend to use our old protocol of 6 to 8 hours under anesthesia instead. That is risky business.

After the procedure, our patients go home opiate-free!. We never allow patients to use any opiate-based replacement drugs, like Suboxone or Subutex, after detoxification as other programs do.

Waismann physicians are Board Certified Anesthesiologists—medical specialists in pain management, with very extensive experience in opiate detoxification. They administer custom pre-procedure analyses for each individual, and monitor every vital function during the Vicodin detox.

Often we notice the intestinal tract is unable to absorb essential nutrients needed, due to chronic Vicodin use:

  • This failure then impairs the function of the brain’s neurotransmitters and hormones.
  • Such nutritional imbalance leads to other disorders that include anxiety, depression, panic attacks, fatigue, insomnia, ADHD, ADD, OCD, and chronic pain.
  • Which, in turn, increase drug dependency, abuse, and further degradation of the underlying deficiencies.

Vicodin Detox Preparation

  • Rapid detox with the Waismann Method sm starts at the hospital, where the patient is admitted and undertakes a complete physical exam for a minimum of 24 hours prior to the detox procedure.
  • Just before your Vicodin detox, the Waismann physicians run special brain chemistry assessments and diagnose blood and urine samples. These tests identify the neurotransmitter and hormone imbalance that could have caused a Vicodin dependency.
  • Next, we implement a nutritional and hormonal replacement program to correct particular deficiencies in the brain and body.
  • Patients must spend 24-48 hours prior to the procedure under in-patient care. We must administer pre-medication properly to stabilize all body functions, and thus insure a safe procedure.
  • Our goal is to achieve the best results and highest safety required by our thorough protocol. The individual patient's medical and dependency history determines the duration of pre-treatment and procedure.
  • To minimize risks and maximize results, our veteran physicians consult with patients about certain pre-existing conditions prior to and upon admission to the hospital.

We regularly see individuals who remain addicted after having tried other detoxification treatment. Waismann patients say that their Vicodin detox is more humane and effective than treatment at traditional rehab programs.

The patient, under anesthesia, simply sleeps through the physical withdrawal as the Vicodin detox cleans the brain’s receptors of invasive Vicodin opiates. Waismann Vicodin rapid detox removes conscious cravings caused by withdrawal while the patient is under anesthesia.
