Opiate Detox Methods to Avoid
Though there are some very effective opiate detox methods available that can immediately put you on track for a long lasting recovery, there are also a number of so-called opiate detox methods and programs that will do nothing but steal your money, waste your time and put your health at risk. Always investigate exactly how a particular program purports to help you rid yourself of opiate addiction, and if that program promises a quick fix, a cure of any kind, an invasive surgery or procedure, or something that just sounds too easy, avoid that program at all costs.
At Michael’s House, we offer evidence-based opiate detox methods and make sure that the one chosen for you is based on your personal needs and experiences with heroin or opiate painkillers. Contact us today for more information.
“Quick Fix” Opiate Detox Methods to Avoid
Any program that swears you’ll be drug-free in a few days with their treatment is usually trying to push a high-priced product, or rope you into paying for more and more services over time. It took a little while to develop and grow your opiate addiction. It’s going to take time to treat it effectively and make sure that you don’t relapse – no quick fix is going to create long-term change in your life.
Curative Opiate Detox Methods to Avoid
There is no cure for opiate addiction, and a program that guarantees that you will walk out of their program and never, ever return to abusing heroin, OxyContin, Percodan or your painkiller of choice is not telling you the truth. It simply isn’t possible. If there were a cure for the disease, it would have made the news and there would be long lines of patients waiting to receive the magical new treatment. Unfortunately, though a cure will hopefully be found in the future, one has not yet been discovered, but those who are ready to fight their addiction can find a number of effective and safe opiate detox options to choose from.
Invasive Opiate Detox Methods to Avoid
They are rare, but there are a few opiate detox programs that say an invasive procedure involving blood transfusions or some other type of surgery will help you become drug-free in 24 hours. These programs are never offered by licensed businesses in the United States and are often quite expensive – and deadly. Avoid them at all costs.
Easy Opiate Detox Methods to Avoid
On the other hand, there is a host of opiate detox programs available that purport to be the secret, easy fix to opiate addiction. They generally involve a high-priced book, a DVD or CD series of instructional videos, or a line of herbal supplements and can often be purchased online or by phone and advertised through late night infomercials. None of these are harmful recovery options, but none will provide the medical and psychological treatment you need to successfully beat opiate addiction.
