Is the detox process painful?

Coming down or withdrawing from drugs or alcohol can be associated with being sick and having painful muscle cramps, uncontrollable anxiety, sleeplessness, seizures, and even death in some rare cases. With a medically supervised medicated withdrawal, the symptoms that are associated with detox are alleviated and even, in some cases, completely pain-free. In most cases, you will feel minimum withdrawal symptoms while in medical detox.

Rapid Detox

The purpose of Rapid Detox is simple, to reduce, minimize, or eliminate altogether, the signs and symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. This decreases the chances of relapse and increases the likelihood of a full recovery. Rapid Detox is not intended to replace a fully comprehensive treatment and recovery program. It is simply “a ‘procedure’ designed to help an individual tolerate the withdrawal symptoms from opiates with much greater comfort.”

Anesthesia Assisted Opiate Detox (AAROD)

Anesthesia Rapid Detox procedure or Ultra Rapid Detox,(AAROD) also known as (UROD), is a fast detox alternative to rapidly detox the body from opiates in 6 hours or less. (AAROD) is done under anesthesia and is done under the strict medical care of a doctor, anesthesiologist, and a nurse. The staff is trained and certified in the AAROD procedures so the client can be assured that their detox will be safe and effective. The latest technology is utilized to assure that the procedure is done effectively and safely. When you arrive at the detox center you will be met by the licensed anesthesiologist and nurse to discuss and prepare you for the procedure. The patient is then put into a medically induced deep sleep for 6 hours and the detox protocol process starts. Once under general anesthesia and deep sedation, the opiate antagonist is administered, and also a strict formula of medications specifically designed to flush out the patient’s opiate receptors. Two nurses are present during the whole procedure, and they monitor the patient’s vitals and make sure that the procedure is flawlessly executed. Once the procedure is complete, the patient usually stays for 24-48 hours for observation and monitoring to make sure that the detox was successful.

AAROD has been used for over 10 years and is now becoming more mainstream for detox procedures. The length of stay at an AAROD detox facility is usually 48 hours and the length of stay at a normal opiate detox is 5-10 days depending on the usage. After detox is completed it is highly recommended that a follow-up treatment plan is in place to handle the issues that are still not handled even though you feel great. Rapid detox or AAROD is in no way a treatment for addiction, it just handles the physical manifestations that are associated with withdrawal from opiates. “Anesthesia Assisted Opiate Detoxification” is the first step, representing only the beginning of a long process of healing and recovery. Once an individual is ‘clean’ of opiates, it is always recommended they make some form of counseling their next step in the recovery process. Aftercare is a paramount component of the recovery process!
