Codeine Detox

Codeine detox can be difficult because there are both mental and physical aspects of opiate addiction. Opiates travel rapidly through the bloodstream to the brain, where they stimulate opiate receptors, triggering intense feelings of pleasure and reward. This quick high is followed a state of relaxation and contentment that lasts for several hours. Concurrently, opiates act directly on the respiratory center in the brainstem, causing a decrease in the breathing rate of the user. When Codeine and/or other opiate-derivative drugs are used incorrectly, this breathing slow-down can be dangerous and even fatal.

Traditional methods of treatment for Codeine addiction—talk therapy along with medicinal treatment to lessen the pain of withdrawal—often have low success rates (less than 10% after the first year) due to codeine’s powerful, physically addictive properties.

A newer and quicker method of Codeine detox is Accelerated Neuro-Regulation (ANR), a rapid drug treatment that is being used with increasing success for opiate dependency. ANR, also known as the Waismann Method^sm of rapid detox, treats codeine addiction as a physical disease that can be overcome with advanced medical techniques. ANR eliminates the cravings that often accompany traditional opiate detox treatments. The Waismann Method^sm has been clinically proven to be effective for Codeine addiction.

During Codeine detox using ANR or the Waismann Method^sm, the body’s opiate receptors are cleansed of opiates while the patient is anaesthetized and asleep. The goal is to rid the body of physical addiction: the patient literally sleeps through physical withdrawal. The Waismann Method^sm reports higher success rates in treating opiate addiction than do clinics utilizing more traditional techniques.
