Advanced Treatment of Opiate Dependency

The Waismann Method ^sm of Rapid Detox maintains its leading position in treating the disease of opiate physical dependency and sets the standard by which other treatments are measured. We are committed to changing the way the world views drug dependency. It is no longer a hidden and shameful disease of the stereotypical "drug addict," but rather a medical disease caused by a legitimate chemical imbalance.

The Waismann Method of detoxification Under Anesthesia utilizes the most advanced medical techniques available for opiate dependency. Patients are treated with the highest level of professionalism, dignity and respect. We are located in Orange County, So. California; where we receive patients from all over the world weekly. We are usually able to admit patients into our hospital 7 days a week.

The procedure takes place in a full service hospital to provide the close monitoring and access to additional medical services or specialists that may become necessary. Patients are admitted the day before the procedure for a complete medical evaluation.

Patients are transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) to provide close monitoring. Once patients are appropriately sedated and pre-medicated, they are put under anesthesia for 60-90 minutes, and an acute withdrawal is precipitated with medications to block the opiate receptors in the brain while the patient sleeps comfortably. This medically induced withdrawal is controlled and closely monitored by either Dr. Bernstein or Dr. Lowenstein, both Board Certified anesthesiologists who are nationally recognized for their expertise in the use of the Waismann Method. During the anesthesia, patients feel no discomfort, and have no memory of the acute withdrawal once they awaken.

Patients are monitored under our care at our hospital to stabilize their mental and physical condition. Usually patients are discharged at least 24-48 hours or when authorized by our physicians.

We are proud to offer our patients the best medicine has to offer for opiate dependency…

The major difference between the Waismann Method and other medical detoxifications is the safety, comfort and success of our patients.

Every patient has a different medical and dependency history, and we treat them as individuals with specific needs. Our doctors will not treat a patient with out at least 24 hours of observation, pre-medication, and pre-examination. Pharmaceuticals are the main tool used to achieve the desired result; we need to understand how each patient react to medications, so we can use the appropriate ones to safely achieve our goals of detoxification.

Different doctors in the US have tried this procedure in surgery centers or even offices in order to save on costs. Consequently safety standards are saved as well, compromising results and well being of patients.

Opiate Addiction

Opiate addiction and dependency is a physical disease, one that can be overcome by utilizing advanced medical techniques.

According to the National Institute for Drug Abuse, there are more than 1 million people dependent on opiates in the United States and that number is rising. Some of the reasons include the large number of Americans, from baby boomers to the elderly, who are getting hooked on pain medication for chronic pain.

Traditional opiate detox programs have a success rate of less than 20% after the first year. These statistics are even grimmer two years after treatment. Popular alternative treatment methods, such as methadone clinics, have significant drawbacks. For one, the number of Americans seeking methadone treatment far exceeds the number of openings at government-approved treatment clinics. As a result, most clinics have long waiting lists. What's more, methadone takes nearly a month to clear the addict's system, compared with a week to 10 days for other opiates, including heroin.
