Rapid Roxicodone Detox under sedation is a medical detoxification treatment offered by All Opiates Detox for patients dependent
on Roxicodone.
Our approach for Roxicodone addiction rapid detoxification under sedation differs from the typical MAT (medication assisted treatment). The MAT uses Methadone and buprenorphine products (Subutex, Suboxone, Zubsolv) is trading one opiate for the other. Consequently, the patient will still be dependent on the opiate Methadone or buprenorphine and will go through withdrawals when it is discontinued. Patients wanting to be opiate free reach out to us. We detox all opiates, rather than substituting one opiate with another opiate.
Rapid Roxicodone Detox under sedation is a medical detoxification treatment offered by All Opiates Detox for patients dependent on Roxicodone. It consists of sedating the patient and removing Roxicodone from the brain receptor while the patient is sleeping. Acute withdrawals are precipitated with an opiate blocker. These withdrawals will pass during the sedation period. Once the withdrawals are over, and the brain receptors are free of the opiate Roxicodone, a blocker is placed to prevent any opiates from getting back into the brain receptor.
The blocker of choice used at All Opiates Detox is an implant. Dr. George prefers the Naltrexone implant blocker for several reasons. First, the Naltrexone implant lasts approximately two months, as opposed to Vivitrol (lasts about 28 days) or tablets (have to be taken daily). Another reason our physicians prefer the implant over the injection is for patients that may not be able to tolerate Naltrexone due to side effects, sensitivity or allergies. The implant can be removed from under the skin, whereas the injection stays in the body for about 28 days and therefore cannot be removed once it is administered. It is recommended to remain on Naltrexone maintenance therapy for at least one year to allow the brain to heal from the damage caused by the drug use and abuse.
Aftercare consisting of the Naltrexone opiate blocker, psychotherapy, and 12 step programs are recommended to ensure long-term abstinence and success.

Roxicodone DETAILS
Roxicodone a brand name for Morphine (an opiate used for both acute and chronic pain). Morphine is found naturally in a number of plants and animals. The primary source of Roxicodone is from the opium poppy. Roxicodone acts directly on the CNS (Central Nervous System) to decrease the feeling of pain.
Roxicodone is commonly used to make other opioids such as hydromorphone, oxymorphone and heroin. It is available in pill form, injection, suppository (for rectal use) and solution (for oral use). Maximum effect is around 20 minutes when given intravenously and 60 minutes when given by mouth, while the duration of effect is between three and seven hours. Roxicodone is available for use as an oral solution (brand name Roxanol), and long-acting pill formulations (brand names MS Contin and Kadian).
Roxicodone is a Schedule II drug since it has a high potential for addiction and abuse.

Psychological symptoms of withdrawals from Roxicodone include agitation, anxiety, depression, disorientation, insomnia, and irritability.
Roxicodone ABUSE
Improper use and abuse of Roxicodone can lead to dependence, tolerance, and addiction. Opiates can be habit-forming, causing not only physical but also psychological dependence. Withdrawals (vomiting) may occur if the dose of the opiates is reduced or discontinued after long-term use.
Using opiates for an extended period can lead to tolerance, where the user needs to increase the dosage of their opiates to achieve the desired effect, whether the desired result is pain control or euphoria.
Once the patient develops a tolerance, it becomes even more difficult to stop using due to the withdrawals. Symptoms of withdrawals are an indication of physical dependence and addiction to the opiate Roxicodone. Most patients describe withdrawals as the worst, most frightening experience one will ever encounter. One can only imagine the excruciating pain when the opiate user says that they’d rather die than go through the withdrawals. Roxicodone physical dependence symptoms, such as withdrawals, lead to psychological dependence. That is when addiction takes over the mind and life of the Roxicodone opiate user.
