Suboxone Detox

Suboxone detoxification delivers a humane treatment for dependent patients to live opiate-free.

Suboxone ® is the trade name of an opioid drug formulation that combines the two generics Buprenorphine and Naloxone. This narcotic analgesic treats moderate to severe pain.

Although also indicated for pain management throughout the surgical procedure period, Suboxone finds its most common stateside use in opiate addiction treatment—despite the fact that the drug itself contains opiates.

Patients dependent on Suboxone typically start to self-medicate (at higher doses) following:

1. A doctor’s original orders for legitimate prescription
2. Prolonged management of back, surgical or chronic pain
3. Pain relief treatment for some other physical disorder.

Or,

4. An opiate addiction treatment program that substituted Suboxone in place of a more potent narcotic drug dependency.

In the latter case, with time, patients often come to feel as dependent on the replacement drug Suboxone as they did on the original opiate drug from which they sought to detoxify.

Many patients now seeking Suboxone detoxification had begun treatment with low dosage, but later increased their use to non-medical levels, as current prescription abuse trends in the U.S. indicate. Dependent patients in need of Suboxone detoxification regularly continue to self‑medicate:

5. Just to avoid painful withdrawal.

Either a premature transition to Suboxone as a replacement drug or an unmonitored discontinuation in its supply can precipitate traumatic withdrawal syndrome. Withdrawal symptoms indicate dependency.

The Waismann Method of Rapid Detoxification

Along with the medical community, the Waismann Method of Rapid Detoxification recognizes Suboxone dependency as a treatable, brain-chemical imbalance caused by synthetic opiate intake. Prolonged narcotic use causes the brain to stop producing natural painkillers, or endorphins. Misuse over time causes dependency. And dependency untreated by Suboxone detoxification causes addiction.

The Waismann Method for Suboxone Detoxification offers humane and effective treatment for patients dependent on Suboxone narcotic medication. Rapid Suboxone detox reverses the patient’s physical opiate dependency without unnecessary fear, shame, or suffering.

Patients who undergo the Waismann Method of rapid Suboxone detox state that our anesthesia-assisted procedure spares them the painful, agonizing symptoms caused by withdrawal.

Post Suboxone Detox

Rapid Suboxone detox cleanses the brain’s receptors of tenacious Suboxone opiates and eliminates conscious cravings from withdrawal while the patient is under anesthesia. The patient has literally slept through physical withdrawal with no recollection of it upon awaking.

After the Waismann Method for Suboxone detoxification, the patient’s body is released from opiates such as Buprenorphine-based Suboxone or Subutex. Our patients can then resume life Suboxone-free, and opiate-free.
