The Rapid Detox Schedule

Here is a sample schedule describing the rapid detox process:

Pre-Procedure

Once you call our office for more information, you will have a phone interview and screening, along with an email questionnaire. This is to determine whether or not rapid detox is right for you. Some initial tests will be needed, such as blood work, EKG, and x-rays. These tests ensure that there will not be any health concerns during your rapid detox.

Checking In

You are admitted to the hospital, and pre-anesthesia protocols begin with our staff in your private hospital room.

Day 1

The rapid detox procedure begins. During the procedure, while you are sedated, you will receive opiate blockers, which reduce the effects of opiates in your system. This procedure lasts about one hour. Afterward, you are transferred to a recovery room where you are closely observed for one to two more days.

Day 2

You will remain under rigorous monitoring in a controlled environment. Rapid detox addresses all factors of addiction and dependence, including physical and neurological factors.

Day 3-4

During your post-detox recovery phase at the aftercare center, you will have some medical follow-ups and continue with monitoring and comprehensive recovery until you are discharged.
