Anyone tried or know about the waismann method.

[TysonRed]

I was just wondering if anyone out there has or knows someone who has experienced the Waismann Method???  Im wondering about its success rates, I saw somewhere that women after a year supposedly had 65% success rate, but didnt find anything on men. I know that Waismann is an inpatient procedure usually lasting 5-7days, your induced into withdrawl after being put under anesthesia, then given sedatives and sleeping pills when you wake up and are transferred to ICU. Im curious to hear if anyone knows of the success rates involved, how the success differs from drug to drug, I would think the success rates of  someone on hydrocodone would be greater than that of someone on methadone, oxycontin. Now I also would think that amounts of medication and its abuse would have to be factored in and their personal medical info. So if anyone out there has been through it please respond, if you know of someone that would be great, or if you've looked into yourself what have you found? Just so others know, Im looking into it for friends that may be able to benefit greatly from it, one friend in particular is on methadone and can't stop. He has no insurance so his care has subsequently has been less the adequate. But he does have family members that could fully afford to pay, if they were made somewhat certain that it would be successful. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, I'll be sticking around to see if I can get any responses.

My wife had to go into treatment and she chose the waisman method, so far 6 months later she does not have a single craving for any narcotics, She was unable to get off the vicodin because of the anticipation and pain of the nasty withdrawals, today my wife is clean and sober and sees life in a much clearer fashion. The hardest part for her is knowing and realizing she can never take a opiate again for pain. They are outrageously expensive and it out a hardcore dent in our finances, It was 20000 bucks for this treatment, But the patient is put under for the whole process of detoxing the opiates out of the human body, once it is flushed out, they are kept comfortable with benzos or xanax. They treated her with dignity and respect and the aftercare was like a country club with a personal chef and yoga and such. But as with anything you have too and must work the program the first opioid you take and its 20000 bucks down the drain, anyways I hope this helps, In a nutshell the program is expensive, withdrawals are never felt, your cleaned out in 7 hours, and you receive top notch after care for 1 week. The program is 8 days, in California, and your sent home with blockers you need to take for 6-9 months

waisman is not what it touted to be we have had several members blow the 20grand and do it .....only 1 had anything good to say about it as for there spa the days after everybobody is to sick to enjoy it there is no ez quick fix for a detox .....look your looking at having the flu for about 4 or 5 days would you spend 20 grand to avoid that??? this is no different your going to be sick for a week then your past it it is up to you if you are willing to treat it to stay clean even wiesman wont keep you clean personally I think detoxing is an inporant part of recovery and you should go threw it you need to know this junk will get you sick and that you cant just fork over the cash to dr feel good and get well I have helped people detox for over 2 yrs we have had no fatality or odd reactions just get your mindset right and go threw the detox process you will be a stronger person for it dont waist your money on quacks like wisman they dont deliver on what they say you cannot detox in 3 to 4 days and feel fine it dont work that way recovery is a gradual process I wish you all the best good luck and God bless........Gnarly

I did a UROD and posted my experience under another thread started by a n MD who is proponent of such. It almost killed me and it DOES NOT ADDRESS WITHDRAWAL SYSTEMS. I was on 80mgs of methadone and I almost died of dehydration. The md  lost his license and I am glad. Hopefully he has learned from the people who died under his UROD treatment.
I am currently down from 360 mgs to 11mgs. The MD who put me on this high dosage should be commended. Apparently methadone does not make my endorphin sites sing, and unfortunately he could not prescribe me heroin. Remember getting clean is just the start.
I had 12 years of clean time and though I hate 12 Step Meetings my sponsor tells me to continue going until I like them again.
He is correct.
DO NO HARM
Be Well, friend

anyone that has ever been addicted to opiates knows that you only hate the drug because of what it's doing to you, not how it makes you feel (when you have it that is) so because of this, i personally think a person needs to go through the withdrawal to know that they don't want to do that again. If you don't go through the suffering, how are you going to not want to use again??? I think for that reason and the cost is enough for me to advise against this method, after all what junkie can afford that? I would recommend tapering off slowly... cut your dose in half for a week, wait a little longer everyday to take your first dose, if you start withdrawals after 12 hours, wait 13 to take it, every week cut your dose by 1/4 and taking your first dose later and later. eventually start skipping a day and not using for that whole day, this will prepare your body for withdrawal. you will have symptoms still, however they will not be as strong, take tylenol, ibuprofin, fish oil, smoke marijuana, drink plenty of water and take vitamins and sleeping pills. feel alive again, get your life back and meet the "YOU" that was left behind. GOOD LUCK!!!
