Facility Description:

The Waismann Institute is the world reknowned leader of opiate detoxification under anesthesia, with unparalleled safety, pre-screening standards and unsurpassed experience in treating opiate dependency.

Patients are admitted 24 to 48 hours before detoxification for a comprehensive physical examination and pre-medication to stabilize body functions. A board certified doctor performs the detoxification under light anesthesia in an intensive care unit. We monitor the patient in the hospital for 24 to 48 additional hours after the procedure to ensure their physical and mental stability.

Treatment Philosophy:

The Waismann Method achieves a reversal of opiate physical dependency without unnecessary suffering, fear or loss of dignity.
