Rapid
detox has become a standard for the accelerated detoxification
of patients from opiates ranging from heroin to prescription
pain relievers. The rapiddetox process is generally conducted
in a hospital setting and under general anesthesia.
Also referred to as 'ultra rapid opiate detox,' it is truly a rapid detox for
opiate based substances and addictions such as heroin, vicodin, methadone,
or any prescribed narcotic pain killers.
Some of the narcotic opiate-based substances that can be treated through the
rapid detoxification process include:
 Heroin
Codene
Vicodin
Oxycontin ®
Methadone
Morphine
Fentanyl
Percocet
Lortab
Darvocet
Dilaudid
Norco
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.
