We use a medically safe procedure known as Anesthesia Assisted Rapid Opiate Detoxification
(AAROD) this rapid detoxification process (lasting approximately 4 to 6 hours) significantly diminishes the opiate withdrawal
discomfort and time. This process is then followed by Structured Continuing Care to ensure
a lasting and fulfilling recovery from VIcodin addiction. This procedure has also been proven to be extremely successful in treating dependency and addiction to
a wide range of other opiates and opiate-based medications including heroin, methadone and the broad spectrum of prescribed pain
relievers.
- Heroin
- Opiate based pain relief drugs such as Vicodin®, OxyContin®, Lorcet®, Norco®, Darvon®, Morphine, Demerol®, Codeine
- Methadone
- Opium
This highly successful program for
individuals who have become dependent upon opiate-based drugs and medications brings together two integral parts of the recovery
process. Utilizing the clinically safe procedure known as Anesthesia
Assisted Rapid Opiate Detoxification
(AAROD)
, a procedure which provides a rapid detoxification process (lasting approximately 4 to 6 hours) that significantly diminishes withdrawal discomfort and time. This is followed by Structured Continuing Care for ongoing recovery.
AAROD is an anesthesia-assisted rapid
detoxification technique, designed to bring the patient to an opiate-free state at the receptor level by
treating the disease at that point, rather than merely withdrawing or substituting opiates with other
addictive drugs. The patient then enters into continuing care,
which meets the patient's ongoing needs in the areas
of his/her physical, mental, and spiritual life. By providing the patient with a relapse-prevention
medication (Naltrexone) and a continuing care structure built on the solid foundation of an abstinence-based
"twelve-step" model of recovery, the patient is offered the best possible chance at ongoing, successful
recovery. Additionally the patient is enrolled in a one-year aftercare support group
that is provided by qualified MRODS staff.
