Yes I understand that after the injections and for the rest of my life I will be an addict. The studies show that the longer you stay sober the less likely youn are to relaps. I know that relaps usually happens when you think things are going well so I have to continue to get support for the rest of my life. I can only answer for what I went through. I did the rapid detox and did not have any physical withdrawl symptoms. Mental withdrawl yes. Still ongoing. I have seen horror stories with rapid detox. I can tell you that this is the only thing that has gotten me this far. I am very thankful for that. I guess Im a bad enough of an addict that I need to be put on naltrexone injections to stop. IDK. As for the money I have no insurance. The 30 day inpatient was almost 10,000.00. I looked at other options. I really hate that people are so hatefull about this. Im not trying to sell it. I just wanted to let people know what has worked for me. I know its not for everyone
Tom over time you will find staying clean much harder then getting clean soner or later your not going to get the injections and will be on your own use this time to treat the diseasewith some form of aftercare our you will be using again addiction dosent go away just becace your detoxed its roots run deeper then that plug into N/A or other support groop and work threw to the root causes of why you used in the first place you got a fighting cance if you do that......Gnatly
I did Rapid Detox. I was in a hospital situation, thankfully.
I bought into the you will wake up feeling fine and quick results. I was promised I would be ok to fly back home 6 days later and really should be fine much sooner.
I won't go into all of it but I was sick. I spent tons of money to effectively be thrown in instant withdrawal. Yes, they threw drugs at me to knock me out part of the time. Considering I was worried about this even though they promised I would be feeling great to fly home I added on a couple of days which was a good thing. I could never have flown home early and barely made it as it was.
When I got home my doc gave me on meds to help me survive the detox. I was so cold. I don't really want to relive that time.
Dangerous, I think so. Withdrawal free, I don't think so. At least not for me.
Expensive, you bet. I could have used that money elsewhere.
The people I talked with who had supposedly gone through the process, I met one of them and his story changed. He forgot which one he was selling me I guess.
So, if anyone were to choose this I would have a few recommendations. First, do make sure it is in a hospital, second, make sure someone can and will have access to you so they can see if you need to get help. Third, I really have problems with the no withdrawal part. Nurses there told me that withdrawal was to be expected but I actually did better than most others.
Check and double check to the best of your ability to see about deaths. It depends on the state as to how much you can really find out.
I really think if this was such a great thing that it would be used much more and you would be able to find it everywhere.
Research, research, although, my research didn't tell me what I really needed to know. And I did the best I could.
My experience only. You know if it sounds to good to be true......
Steve, as I have said before. This is the most aggressive way to attack this problem. Did I want to spend that kind of money? Ofcourse not. But Ive been in active addiction for 17 years. I tried everything except for methadone. Yes Ife been through hell and back with the withdrawls. Lets face the fact that most users are wanting to stopusing. Whats the number one thing they are afraid of. Its being dope sick. So I took that part away. I see it as getting a huge jump on this problem. Not cheating. If you see it as cheating you have that right. I can only tell you that with this procedure that il be 30 days clean on tuesday. It has worked the best for me so far. Im not knocking you or your beliefs I just want people to know that this option is out there and it has saved my life so far.
We all have to do what works. Some of us can pay and others cannot. Judging you is wrong. I am glad it works and hope that you do well. Getting aftercare is wonderful. Will you be able to stop the injections say in a year or so?? Keep up the good work. You walked into it with eyes open and that is all any of us can do.
