any info on rapid detox...

Just curious if anyone has tried the rapid detox  (or know of this). Apparently they knock you out and get all the **** (mainly opiates) out of your system and your only out for like 6-8 hours and then your just really tired but clean with basically zero W/D!
Sounds too good to be true to me. But wow that would be amazing!

It is very expensive  like 7 to 10 grand  and very dangerous people have died doing it here is an article about it .

The dangers of rapid-detox drug treatment
The Ontario Coroner's Office is investigating a second death connected to a chain of drug treatment clinics that offer a a highly controversial treatment that has divided addiction experts. So-called "rapid detox" treatment uses a cocktail of medications to speed through the withdrawl (withdrawal) process while the patient remains under sedation. As part of the procedure, the patient is implanted with a pellet of the opate antagonist Naltrexone to prevent them from having intense cravings or obtaining any "high" from opiates once the treatment is complete.

At first glance this sounds like it could be a great procedure -- why suffer through weeks of withdrawl (withdrawal) symptoms when you can get through the worst of it in a few hours while unconcious? However, some experts claim it is biologically impossible to fast-track withdrawal and that the dangers of the procedure are not worth the potential payoff.

The Toronto Star has a very detailed investigation in to the latest death, including a lot of background information on the procedure for those who may be curious about pursuing it. It looks to be somewhat of a last-resort option, but it seems to me it won't do you much good being clean if there's a good chance that you'll die in the process

Hi LIke Avisc said its very expensive,moreover it does nothing to stop the (jonesing) psycological desire/compulsion to use.Can you afford $10,000 only to stay clean for a few days.AS you probably know,its easy to stop.the hard part is staying stopped john

I looked into this pretty extensively and found it to be very, very expensive and you will experience some withdrawl (withdrawal) afterwards. I decided to use the thousands of dollars instead to just take some time out, no work or anything and quit on my own. It cost me thousands of dollars but without the worries of working i was finally able to quit and have been clean for 8 months now. It was also much easier to do and i added a vacation during my withdrawl (withdrawal) period while i was tappering.
