Has Anyone Ever Participated in What Is Called: “Rapid Detox” ?
Question by Beachgirl: Has Anyone Ever Participated in What Is Called: “Rapid Detox” ?
I have read many articles regarding information about Opioid Rapid Detoxification where a patient who is seemingly, hopelessly addicted to opiates, including methadone and heroin, can be detoxed in a matter of hours under general anesthesia. I’ve also “heard” that it is an easier, softer way to detox for long time drug abusers who have used many other detoxification methods to no avail and always returned to drugs due to the detox process being so unpleasant. I’m not quite sure how the process works but am interested in finding out more about this treatment. I volunteer for a medical facility that helps addicts and have been asked about this many times. Any information would be appreciated.

awwww you know, unless you get professional help and spend time inside you dont have much chance of kicking the habit.
the whole point of being inside is to be away from the places and people you associate your addiction.
