Florida Detox^® Drug Addiction Treatment is Effective for All Narcotics, Even Methadone

The Florida Detox^® anesthesia-assisted rapid detox procedure is effective for any known opiate or narcotic analgesic (including synthetics). Generally, the compounds included in these rapid detox categories are divided into so-called "street drugs" and prescription medications.

Treat Prescription Drug Addiction With Rapid Detox

A large majority of the patients we treat at Florida Detox^® are victims of a chronic pain syndrome. These patients have a long-standing history of migraine headaches, neck pain, back pain, or some other musculoskeletal disorder. Expertise in pain management is invaluable in developing a successful strategy for post detoxification life. Many patients with previously uncontrolled addiction to prescribed pain medication have been successfully treated at Florida Detox^®, even after attempting Detox at traditional drug rehab centers. Often we find that the patient is simply "chasing the addiction" or "avoiding withdrawal" and therefore requiring excessive pain medication. Typically, we see many patients who began treating their pain with 4-6 Percocets per day. After a period of time there is a natural progression to quantities in excess of 30-40 pills per day.

Opiate Dependency & Prescription Drug Addiction

Opiate dependency is recognized as a central nervous system disorder, caused by continuous opiate intake. After prolonged opiate use, the nerve cells in the brain, which would otherwise produce endogenous opiates (natural painkillers, or endorphins), cease to function normally. The body stops producing endorphins because it is receiving opiates instead. The degeneration of these nerve cells results in the user's physical dependency to an external supply of opiates. Abrupt or sudden abstinence from opiates induces yet another traumatic disorder - withdrawal syndrome.
