MS Contin detox can be difficult because the drug falls into the opiate
category (naturally occurring constituents of opium), causing both mental
and physical 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 MS Contin®,
which comes in the form of tablets, capsules, liquid, and rectal suppositories
to be taken every four hours, as well as long-acting tablets and capsules
that can be taken every 8-12 hours or 1-2 per day, is used incorrectly, this
breathing slow-down can be dangerous and even fatal.
Traditional methods of treatment for MS Contin 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). A newer and
quicker method of MS Contin detox is Accelerated Neuro-Regulation (ANR),
formerly known as rapid detox. This rapid drug treatment, which is being
used with increasing success for opiate dependency, is also called the Waismann
Methodsm. It treats MS Contin 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
Methodsm has been clinically proven to be effective for MS Contin
addiction.
During MS Contin detox using ANR or the Waismann Methodsm, 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 Methodsm reports
higher success rates in treating opiate abuse such as MS Contin addiction
than do clinics utilizing more traditional techniques.
