Program Description

The Waismann Method Rapid Detox for opiate dependency is the original rapid detox in the United States.

If safety & success are your priority, RapidDetox.com’s Waismann Method® is the right choice.

Only Waismann Method® has the right facility, doctors, experience and aftercare to ensure our patients health,
safety and confidentiality.  

First, we perform our rapid detox in an intensive care unit of a full service JCAHO accredited hospital and
patients also have their own private room. Other rapid detox programs belittle the importance of such
accreditation by claiming it infringes upon patients’ privacy, which is not true. Our facility adheres to stringent
HIPAA privacy laws as legally mandated by the government. Confidentiality is not broken. Additionally, unlike
other programs that try to cut costs and corners by performing in a non-hospital facility, we operate in a real
hospital.  This is because we realize how serious, complex and involving the procedure is. In our medical
facility we have access to the right medical professionals, specialists and equipment should any emergency
arise. Our physicians are board certified and have had over 14 years of experience treating opiate addiction
with rapid detox. Sedation lasts only 1 to 2 hours.

Secondly, we keep our patients for 2-3 days or until medically stable. Another element that sets us apart from
other rapid detox centers is that we do not discharge our patients into a hotel or under the care of a friend or
family member. That is not medically responsible because opiate dependency changes the brain and vital
organs. It is necessary to monitor patients for a few days to make sure that basic bodily functions stabilize
and to prevent immediate relapse or any medical complications such as dehydration and pulmonary distress.

Finally, we provide transitional after care at our luxury Domus Retreat. We understand that there may be
underlying causes for opiate dependency. Without addressing those causes, the chance for relapse increases.
Our professional staff treats each patient with compassion, understanding and respect.
