What Is Rapid Detox?
The rapid opiate detox process is generally conducted in a hospital
setting and under general anesthesia.
Also referred to as 'ultra rapid opiate detox,' rapid detox for opiate based
substances and addictions such as heroin, vicodin, methadone, or any prescribed
narcotic pain killers.
Other narcotic opiate-based substances that can be treated through the rapid
detoxification process include:
- Codeine
- Dilaudid
- Morphine
- Percocet
- Percodan
- Lortab
- Oxycontin ®
The rapid opiate detox process is generally conducted in a hospital
setting and under general anesthesia. In fact, the process is most
often overseen by certified and qualified anesthesiologists and a nursing
staff that specializes in such procedures.
While under anesthesia, the patient is administered medications that accelerate
the physical reactions to the rapid withdrawal process which can last from
4 to 6 hours. |
