Key Benefits Of The Rapid Detox Method

by Prof. on March 26, 2012

When you’re snared in the web of opiate addiction, getting immediate treatment for your problem should be of primary concern. Finding a good facility that offers the rapid detox under anesthesia method is an important first step towards rehabilitation, which is why we encourage you to examine our program in greater detail. We believe our advanced approach can provide you with many key benefits you won’t find anywhere else. These include:

  • Comfort: Opiates are removed from your system while under anesthesia, and when you awake, you will receive one-on-one care for 36-48 hours to ensure continuous comfort.
  • Effectiveness: Our procedure lasts for a full 8 hours compared to the usual 1 hour at other detox treatment centers. This allows sufficient time for your body to eliminate drugs from your opiate receptors so you don’t wake up to withdrawal symptoms.
  • Safety: We have never had any complications or serious incidents with patients because we use a highly experienced anesthesiologist, qualified staff, and state-of-the-art equipment.
  • Addictions counseling: You will be assessed before and after completing our program, and will receive weekly follow-up counseling by phone for 8 weeks.
  • Cost: Our price tag of $13,000 to $15,000 is lower than what other places charge and includes rapid detox plus a 3- to 7-day stay in rehab and recovery.

Seeking help for your opiate addiction is critical to your long-term health, but that doesn’t mean you should just check yourself into the nearest detox treatment center and hope for the best. Not all facilities are equipped to provide you with the same expert rapid detox and follow-up care, which means you won’t always get the hoped-for results. Contact us today to discover how you can enroll in our successful program and take advantage of the benefits listed above.

What Makes An Addict?

by Prof. on March 19, 2012

Many addiction research studies have shown that the brains of drug users are fundamentally different than the brains of nonusers. However, it has never been conclusively determined if these differences are the result of prolonged drug abuse or if they existed all along and somehow predispose the user to addiction and the subsequent need for detox treatment. Now, thanks to new research by Karen Ersche of the University of Cambridge, scientists are closer to understanding the connection.

Background

Ersche’s study involved 50 self-identified long-term drug users and their nonuser siblings, along with a control group consisting of 50 unrelated volunteers with no history of drug use. All participants were given a stop-signal test to measure self-control.

Findings

Ersche’s research yielded several important findings:

  1. The drug users and their siblings showed abnormalities in the part of the brain responsible for inhibitive behavior.
  2. The drug users and their siblings also showed irregularities in the size of brain areas linked to learning and memory, perhaps making them more inclined to engage in habitual behavior.
  3. The drug users and their siblings needed more time to exert self-control on the stop-signal test than the volunteers from the control group.

Conclusion

Ersche’s findings indicate that a person’s neurological makeup plays a significant role in potential vulnerabilities to simulant drug addiction. But the fact that siblings sharing the same innate brain anomalies do not always end up with the same addiction suggests that genes are only a part of the problem.

This kind of data can be invaluable to medical professionals at detox centers around the country in their continued efforts to break the cycle of addiction.
