The rapid 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 painkillers.
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.
Be especially scrutinizing as you determine the drug rehab program that meets your specific needs.
Since 1972, our addiction treatment centers in Pennsylvania have been providing effective treatment programs for adults and adolescents who suffer from alcoholism and/or chemical dependency. Clearbrook’s rehabilitation program is based upon the belief that alcoholism and chemical dependency is a primary disease and that the suffering addict and his or her family members deserve immediate help.
