The MRODS Method of Rapid Detox - Anesthesia Assisted Rapid Opiate Detoxification (AAROD)

At MRODS, we have come to specialize in the treatment of addiction to many different narcotic pain relievers, however, Vicodin® addiction and dependency continues to be one of the most prevalent conditions that men and women come to us with. It has also beome the number one dependency that we are able to treat successfully.

Utilizing the medically safe procedure know as anesthesia assisted rapid opiate detoxification (AAROD) this rapid detoxification process (4 - 6 hours) ignificantly diminishes the withdrawal discomfort and time. The process is then followed by structured continuing care to ensure a lasting and fulfilling recovery. This procedure has also proven to be extremely successful in treating dependency and addiction to a wide range of other opiate-based drugs and medications including, heroin, methadone, and the broad spectrum of prescribed pain relievers.

• Heroin
• Narcotic pain relief drugs such as Vicodin®, OxyContin®, Lorcet®, Darvon®, Morphine, Demerol®, Codeine
• Methadone
• Opium

This highly successful program for individuals who have become dependent upon opiate-based drugs and medications brings together two integral parts of the recovery process. Utilizing the clinically safe procedure know as, anesthesia assisted rapid opiate detoxification (AAROD) which provides a rapid detoxification process (4 - 6 hours) that significantly diminishes the withdrawal discomfort and time. This is followed by structured continuing care for ongoing recovery.

AAROD is an anesthesia-assisted rapid detoxification technique designed to bring the patient to an opiate-free state at the receptor level by treating the disease at that point, instead of only withdrawing or substituting opiates with other dependency producing drugs. The patient is then entered into continuing care, which meets the patient's ongoing needs in the areas of his/her physical, mental, and spiritual life. By providing the patient with a relapse-prevention medication (Naltrexone) and a continuing care structure built on the solid foundation of an abstinence-based "twelve-step" model of recovery, the patient is offered the best possible chance at ongoing, continued recovery. Additionally the patient is enrolled in a one year aftercare support group which is provided by qualified MRODS staff.
