Why is Detox Important?

The NAD/NTR rapid detox is effective in treating all cases of drug addiction. It has shown to have profound effects on decreasing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, while helping to improve mental functions once the patient is undergoing the detox treatment. This method has shown to work most effectively in patients suffering from alcohol and opiate addiction. Withdrawals from both of these substances are incredibly painful and patients who have undergone this treatment have reported a decrease in withdrawal symptoms of 50 to 80 percent without the aid of any other detox medications.

Patients who struggle with benzodiazepines can also benefit from this treatment. Other supplemental detox treatments may be needed depending on how long the patient has been abusing drugs.

The NAD/NTR rapid detox uses naturally occurring substances to help restore the body and mind to their optimal forms. It does so without the use of any potentially addictive medications, which are used in more traditional forms of detox. Below are some common withdrawal symptoms associated with substances that require medical attention such as opiates, alcohol and benzodiazepines. If one is experiencing any of these symptoms, they should consider moving into a detox facility immediately.

Opiates

Detoxifying from opiates is very painful and should be medically assisted. Symptoms of withdrawal include:

  • Nausea and vomiting
  • General muscle aches
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Heavy fever-like sweating
  • Abdominal cramps
  • Diarrhea
  • Insomnia (patients will often “kick” at night)

Symptoms of opiate withdrawal usually last roughly seven to ten days. More common methods used to treatment opiate addiction include the use of Suboxone. This substance is has shown to help many get off of heroin and prescription opioids such as OxyContin, Opana, Dilaudid and fentanyl. When treating addiction with Suboxone, the patient’s use is monitored and the drug is medically administered. The NAD/NTR rapid detox includes no addictive substance. This process is not only used to treat withdrawal symptoms, but may eliminate them entirely.

Alcohol

Alcohol withdrawals are very painful and can be life-threatening if they are not monitored and treated properly. Most often, these symptoms will occur within 48 to 96 hours after the patient has taken his or her last drink. Some common symptoms include:

  • Insomnia
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Fever
  • Chest pain
  • Profuse sweating
  • Seizures
  • Delirium tremens

Delirium tremens is an extremely severe form of alcohol withdrawal that requires immediate hospitalization and clinical monitoring. It involves severe changes to the central nervous system in which patients can demonstrate such symptoms as disorientation, body tremors and auditory and visual hallucinations. In traditional detox programs, alcoholics are administered low doses of benzodiazepines like valium or ativan to treat withdrawal symptoms.

Benzodiazepines

Detoxifying from benzodiazepines or “benzos” can have severe withdrawal symptoms that may be life-threatening if not treated properly. Patients must be monitored when undergoing benzo detox. Symptoms associated with benzo withdrawal include:

  • Severe anxiety attacks
  • Insomnia
  • Paranoia
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Body tremors
  • Seizures

Ridding benzos from the body often requires a slow tapering process. The drug is administered in small doses over a period of ranging from one to two weeks to make sure the patient is not taken off of the medication too quickly.

The NAD/NTR rapid detox treatment is able to eliminate the need for controlled medications during the detox process and allows patients to detox from alcohol and drugs using only naturally-occurring substances.
