Oxy addiction - anyone heard of the 'rapid detox'

I have gone on line and seen the term 'Rapid Detox' on several sites.  when calling to check into this, I was told the clinic puts you to sleep for a period of time (depending on how much usuage you have had).  While asleep, they apparently use Narcan to 'instantly' remove the drugs from your receptors.   Then after 2 - 3 days it is all over with and the patient goes home.  This sounds too good to be true so there must be some of you out there who have heard of it and what the real story is.  Thanks for any help you can offer.  I am on Oxycontin and Percocet for a total of 140 mg day of Oxycodone.   I guess the cost is really high also - - $15K for treatment.   Sure would like to hear anyone who has had experience with this or know of someone who has.  Thanks  Oxyhooked

Hi. Just to let you know, A Rapid Detox is safe, the only thing you need to worry about is anesthesia and who is performing it. Make sure you get pre examination tests done and do your research. As far as the place in Ontario, that's Canada, not the states. Look into the Waismann Method. Good luck.

Yes  makinit, that bad and that's all I hear about it. I also heard they diaper you so you don't soil yourself too badly. In theary it makes sense but because they get the dope out of you doesn't mean you will get through it any faster. Withdawl lasts the same amount of time no matter what you do. I've had narcan before (in a ER when I was awake), and they snuck it too me. I can't ever remeber being so tormented, a true hell on earth. I think the best thing is to detox with support meds like clonidine and valium and just get through it and trust God.

I had this procedure done near near Troy, Michigan in 2006. I don't have enough time to tell you all that I wish to tell you about what happen throughout my ordeal with this nightmare of a procedure, but I can tell you that I was mislead in many ways. Withdrawals still lasted for a lengthly time after the procedure. In short terms I was so sick after coming out of the anths.that I thought I was going to die. I was literally throwing up and filling up 18 gallons garbage cans and Dirrehia from hell at the same time. After I returned home and after a week had gone by I was still pretty sick and eventually ended up removing my implant to relapse. I wouldn't recommend this procedure to my worst enemy.

yea,
i looked into the rapid detox. not a very good track record and yes you still have withdrawl when you go home.

so save yourself the money.

i was willing to pay it if it would work, so i figured if i am going to spend that kind of money , lets have  fun doing it.

quit work for some time-months and was like on vacation which helped tremendously. was able to get things in order. let my back heal up and get a rest from working finally. got a new social life , new friends and stuff.
if you have the money- this was immeasurable, made it so much easier.
lets face it , it is going to take time no matter what you do.

I never talked to anybody who had the UROD procedure who said any thing good about it. It makes docs richer and can really be a bad experience. The 21 day sub taper makes sense for you type of habit.
