rapid detox, like any other medical procedure, comes with risks. The goal of a rapid detox facility is to reduce the risk to patient by following strict safety measures. Unfortunately, to save money and cut corners, a lot of rapid detox treatment centers ignore such protocols. For example, they perform the procedure in an out-patient facility (not in a hospital), use anesthesia and/or put the patient under for more than 3 hours. All those put the patient under unnecessary risk, but at a cheaper price than say the Waismann Method, which is more costly than most....but then again, they are a safer treatment provider than any other rapid detox.
They perform in a full service JCAHO accredited hospital, use sedation (not anesthesia) and the patient is only under for 60-90 minutes. They have been around since 1999.

Here is an article on rapid detox for all who a considering it
The dangers of rapid-detox drug treatment
The Ontario Coroner's Office is investigating a second death connected to a chain of drug treatment clinics that offer a a highly controversial treatment that has divided addiction experts. So-called "rapid detox" treatment uses a cocktail of medications to speed through the withdrawl process while the patient remains under sedation. As part of the procedure, the patient is implanted with a pellet of the opate antagonist Naltrexone to prevent them from having intense cravings or obtaining any "high" from opiates once the treatment is complete.
At first glance this sounds like it could be a great procedure -- why suffer through weeks of withdrawl symptoms when you can get through the worst of it in a few hours while unconcious? However, some experts claim it is biologically impossible to fast-track withdrawal and that the dangers of the procedure are not worth the potential payoff.
The Toronto Star has a very detailed investigation in to the latest death, including a lot of background information on the procedure for those who may be curious about pursuing it. It looks to be somewhat of a last-resort option, but it seems to me it won't do you much good being clean if there's a good chance that you'll die in the process
