Rapid detox is a procedure that’s designed to safely accelerate the process of removing opiates from within the body’s systems with the help of naloxone, which reverses the effects of opioids. Lasting anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes, the procedure is coupled with monitoring by medical staff.
There is often a hesitation to enter treatment for some patients who are addicted to opiates, even among those who have acknowledged a problem and wish to take positive steps to recover, because of the difficulty of withdrawal. Since rapid detox is a process that encompasses both detox and withdrawal, there is no need to delay recovery simply due to a fear of severe withdrawal symptoms.

Rapid detox is meant to be the first step in the recovery process for patients. The process offers many benefits for patients looking to overcome an addiction to opiate drugs. The purpose of rapid detox is to place a patient in a position where they are more likely to get the most benefits from the remainder of their treatment. Patients typically undergo a thorough evaluation prior to starting any program to identify potential physical and psychological issues.
Rapid detox is part of a confidential and private approach to treatment that focuses on the patient and their well-being. The after-care process includes careful monitoring in a supervised setting. Rapid detox is available to patients dealing with an addiction to a variety of opiates, including Oxycodone, Percocet, Vicodin, Norco and Heroin.
