Morphine Detox

Detoxing from morphine is only the first step in becoming free of this narcotic for life. In order to safely and effectively detox, a drug abuser should seek help from a qualified medical program. An individual who is addicted to morphine should never attempt to detox on his own without appropriate medical supervision.

For those who wish to detox very rapidly, there is a procedure called "Rapid Opiate Detox" which is conducted while the patient is under general anesthesia. This procedure is designed to purge the patient's system of all addictive substances while he or she is unconscious. Naloxone and Naltrexone are administered which removes the opiates from the body, thereby reducing the usual period of withdrawal of five to seven days down to five or six hours.

When the patient awakens, he will most likely still experience some cravings for morphine but to a lesser extent and the feelings will decrease over time. However, if the patient does not participate in intensive counseling, he may not fully understand the need to remain free of narcotics - because he was not really involved in his detox and may feel the whole procedure was so easy that he may drift back into drug use again.

It is preferable for a patient who is motivated to detox and remain "clean" to enter a high quality drug program. The Meditox Method provides a setting that is medically supervised with a focus on eliminating symptoms associated with withdrawal. We administer Suboxone which is a safe and effective medication that will not create dependency or addiction and you will be able to continue work or school without interruption in your life.
