Our Rapid OxyContin® Detox Procedure
We can help you break free from your OxyContin® dependency in as little as four days. We have many clients who’ve generously provided testimonials for you to view and see for yourself. We’ve helped them all. We can help you too once you’re ready. Once you’ve decided you’re ready to quit.
Your entire OxyContin® detoxification procedure takes place inside of our private treatment center while you’re under monitored IV Sedation. Recovery occurs in a private room complete with a private bathroom and shower. Each patient is kept sedated while their body goes through the withdrawal from the opiate, sparing them the worst of the psychical and psychological sensations. All of the drugs are flushed from their receptors during this process. There’s no better, painless way to withdraw from OxyContin® than under the expert medical care of our doctor and medical team at Advanced Rapid Detox.
Our Rapid OxyContin® Detox Treatment Process is as follows:
DAY 1:
- Patient completes all intake paperwork, lab work, physical exam, meets with the therapist, and then case-planning meeting with Dr. Aharonov.
- During the meeting, the patient can choose to receive either daily oral Naltrexone tablets or choose to private pay for the Vivitrol injection—which lasts for 28 days.
- Next, the patient is taken to their private room which includes a private bathroom, flat screen TV, and WIFI. All meals are included.
- During their stay at Advanced Rapid Detox, the patient keeps their cell phone.
- Smoking and vaping are not allowed in or around the facility. We suggest patients wear a nicotine patch.
- We do not want the patient in withdrawals, so they are encouraged to continue their medication until midnight.
DAY 2:
- The patient has their Opiate Reversal Procedure in the ICU, where they remain for approximately 24 hours.
- Their opiate reversal procedure is performed by Dr. Julia Aharonov, an Award-Winning, Board-Certified Anesthesiologist & Addiction Medicine Specialist.
- While under IV sedation, medications are used to reverse the opiates from the brain’s receptors, returning them to their “pre-addiction” state. Patients are NOT intubated or catheterized.
- After the opiate reversal, the patient is provided with the daily oral Naltrexone tablets, or the FDA Approved Vivitrol® injection.
- Both the tablets and the injection, block the effects of opioids and eliminate cravings. It should be noted that the Vivitrol® injection eliminates the opiate cravings for 28 days, is not addictive and can be given immediately after this procedure—avoiding the usual 7-14 day period if a patient were to detox themselves. The oral tablets stop cravings for 24 hours, and must be taken daily.
DAY 3:
- Patient rests and recuperates in their private room (with 24-hour medical care.)
- If they experience any post-acute withdrawals (restless legs, chills, etc.) they are given transitionary, non-addictive medications for a few days until the symptoms pass.
- The same medications will be called into patient’s home pharmacy.
- If approved by the doctor and for an additional fee, patients can request an IV Ketamine infusion.
- Ketamine therapy is considered the finding of the decade for unresolved pain, depression, and PTSD.
DAY 4:
- Once discharged by Dr. Aharonov, the patient is free to go home.
- If an additional overnight stay is desired, this can be arranged for an additional fee.
- After discharge, the patient is eligible for our detox-related aftercare program.
- With Advanced Rapid Detox, you truly have the best care as you restart your life.
What is OxyContin®?
Also sold under the brand name of Percocet®, OxyContin® is actually the opioid-based painkiller oxycodone. OxyContin® is one of the most commonly-prescribed painkillers in the United States. One of the effects of using OxyContin® is that the human body builds up a natural tolerance towards it, meaning that the pain-killing abilities of this opiate decrease over time.
- Oxycodone is an opiate agonist that is the active ingredient in OxyContin®, Percocet®, and Percodan®
- OxyContin® is an extended-release concentrated version of oxycodone, lasting as long as twelve (12) hours.
As a pain-killer, OxyContin® is moderately powerful – around one-and-a-half times as powerful as Morphine. It is – initially at least – effective at dealing with moderate to severe levels of pain. Oxycodone is derived from the opium poppy – from an alkaloid called thebaine which has natural pain-killing and other properties. On some occasions oxycodone is combined with another chemical that is known as naloxone. The purpose of naloxone is to make the oxycodone element of the medication less addictive without curtailing its pain-killing abilities.
OxyContin® is effective in managing pain, but its use comes with a number of undesirable side effects. These side effects include but are not limited to the following:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
- Itchy skin
- Dizziness
- Dry Mouth
- Sweating
- Excessive tiredness
It is important that doses of OxyContin® are effectively controlled. Misuse of OxyContin® can cause all types of issues, including the reduction in a person’s breathing and a lowering of their heart rate. Severe cases of overdosing can result in the complete failure of the respiratory system which is typically fatal.
Is not recommended that a patient remains on OxyContin® for an extended period of time. People who extend their usage of OxyContin® more than is necessary because they cannot face the withdrawal process, report feelings of depression and anxiety, as well as a lack of desire for food, sensations of lethargy, and depleted sex drives.
Understanding Your Dependency
Once a person feels they no longer need to use OxyContin® for pain relief, they’ll naturally want to stop taking it. However, it is usually very difficult for someone to stop using OxyContin® because of the unfortunate physical and psychological side effects that withdrawal causes. Many people become trapped in a ‘cycle of dependency’ – i.e. they end up continuing to take OxyContin® not because they need to, but because they feel they cannot function normally without it.
When introduced into the human body, OxyContin® swiftly has two effects. First, it deadens excessive sensations of pain. Secondly, it causes sensations of euphoria. People also say they experience a number of other pleasurable sensations, including tranquility, better quality sleep and a sensation akin to ‘being at peace’.
Some report that they feel ‘addicted’ to sleep – they tend to want to go to bed earlier than normal, and they find it hard to get up in the morning. They also feel irritated and fatigued if they do not get as much sleep as they want.
On balance, people tend to feel they would be much better off without the constant need for OxyContin®, once they have dealt with the pain that OxyContin® was meant to assuage. However, the withdrawal symptoms associated with the drug are well-documented, and people are fearful of experiencing such debilitating conditions. The most common side effects experienced are nausea, diarrhea, cold-like symptoms, muscular pains, tiredness, sweating and an increased heart-rate. Once these physical symptoms have been dealt with, people also report feeling depressed or anxious.
These symptoms can last up to four days following the end of use of OxyContin®, although psychological events such as depression and anxiety can last much longer. Because of the terrible nature of dealing with these symptoms, many people feel they have no choice but to recommence their use of OxyContin®. This can lead to further psychological conditions as people feel disappointed in themselves in that they have failed to manage to quit their dependency.
Most people are left to their own devices when it comes to halting their dependency on OxyContin®, or they only have the help given to them by a few close friends. Successful withdrawal from OxyContin® dependency is more likely to be achieved if undertaken with the help of medical experts who specialize in OxyContin® detoxification.
