Codeine Addiction

Codeine addiction is a consequence of a dependency not properly treated. Patients do not choose to become addicts. The causes of addiction and dependency come from self-medication due to:

• physical pain
• emotional pain
• misdiagnosed depression, anxiety or trauma
• recreational use.

Patients look to anesthetize their discomfort, which eventually creates a physical dependency. Counseling or proper medical treatment can only be effective once the dependency is treated and the anesthetic is removed.

Codeine dependency that leads to Codeine addiction can be medically reversed. It is more than a hope, today, this is a reality with advanced science and from our 10 years of professional medical detoxification experience.
 
Due to a better understanding of opiate dependence, patients no longer need to turn to painful and ineffective methods of detox promoted by rehabilitation centers. By medically inducing rapid detoxification while the patient is under anesthesia, Waismann Method doctors can reverse opiate dependency in a safe, humane and non-judgmental manner. Our patients can then continue their lives opiate-free.

Our board-certified anesthesiologists have successfully reversed opiate dependence in thousands of patients in the last decade. Detoxification occurs in the safe and discreet setting of a full service accredited hospital intensive care unit. Each patient is individually diagnosed and treated in a caring, personal and professional manner.

The Waismann Method of Rapid Detoxification recognizes that opiate dependence is a physical, medical problem that requires a physical, medical intervention.

We view abuse and addiction as separate and distinct issues from physical dependence and tolerance. Codeine remains habit-forming over time and can produce typical opiate withdrawal.

Many Codeine dependent patients come to us when their progressive self-medication has reached dangerous, addictive levels. Often, they have tried stopping themselves or have had failed attempts at other drug treatment programs. They come to us to be free of all opiate use through our accelerated rapid detoxification:

• Safe, compassionate, and more advanced than traditional drug detoxification.
• We have established a 1‑year success rate of 72 to 74%.
• Over the last decade, we have effectively treated thousands of patients from around the world.

The Waismann Method of rapid detoxification offers a humane treatment to patients who have a physically Codeine dependency or Codeine addiction.

“I have never felt so happy. I no longer feel fear. …all I wanted was to have my life back,“ a former Codeine addiction patient wrote us. “(Now,) I have my life back…”
