Anyone reading this, please understand that, while i do support this way to detox, it does little to none helping addiction, since you can relapse in months after evrrything is "fine". The most important is to change your life rutines, get education, get out of a toxic relationship etc. and have a support group that will keep you on the right path. Otherwise you just do a circle back to square one.
Hi Jurij Puc -- We couldn't agree with you more. Withdrawal management, or 'detox,' is just the first step. That's a major reason why our program includes 6 months of supportive case management services and naltrexone therapy. It takes time for the brain to heal and habits to change. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
This is a start. Some people need his start and then apply what u saying like myself. Im a cancer patient that didn't ask for this. I need to see him soon plus it's out patient omg
Who going to pay for all this costly treatment listening to drug addicted in a class and 2k U.A TEST .And not being able to read while on methadone or keep your eyes open .
I detoxed at the Coleman institute exactly 1 month ago. I have been to numerous detox units and lots of rehabs. This was literally my BEST EXPERIENCE BY FAR!!!! The staff are amazing, they treated my like gold.
I will say this: i had to do a 4 month probation violation and had to go cold turkey as the Federal prison doesn't do suboxone, however, on the 4th month I still felt like my initial 48 hours in.. my whole incarceration was spent wishing for death. I believe suboxone and similar synthetic opioids are like boutique heroine, (which I've never done) its a much longer bind and pathway to the receptor. Having gone cold turkey off Methadone, liquid morphine, (Roxinol) oxy's etc, suboxone was by far the worst and I've spoken to former heroine addicts who agree wholeheartedly. - Surry Virginia
I've been on methadone for over ten years and it has been a Godsend, my life has went from being a homeless heroin addict to having my own place and supporting myself. Early in my recovery I was booted off of this one MMT clinic for not being able to afford it. This is while I was still homeless. The clinic had this horrible procedure called the 21 day detox for people who couldn't pay their monthly dues. I was expected to successfully taper off of 120mgs of methadone in 21 days but they messed up and didn't start the taper until the 5th day so I had 16 days to do this (I didn't know cause during this "detox" they blind dose you so you don't know what dose you're at). In short, it absolutely did not work, I proceeded to go through the most agonizing experience of my life. The full withdrawal felt like it hit while I was still tapering and continued to get worse each day for the next month and a half, mind you I was homeless and completely broke so even if I wanted to relapse I couldn't, but I truly tried as hard as I could to tough it out and after about 45 days of being in hell I was able to get some heroin. The scariest part about this and the reason I wanted to share this here is because I always heard that withdrawal with short acting opiates takes 3 to 7 days, longer acting ones like methadone would be longer, like double that, so 2 weeks... after 45 days I felt a hundred times worse than the first week off the clinic. It wasn't the withdrawal that's "like the flu" you always hear about, it wasn't anything like being dope sick from heroin. It was torture. Nowadays I'm doing great, but there's the constant thought in the back of my head, what if I somehow lose my meds or get booted off the program. I only have to go once a month, my life is normal for the most part. But what if I lose my methadone.. it's a terrifying thought.
That's one of the reasons why I want off. I've been 6 days today off of 65mg methadone. I would only dose every 2 days but it's still kicking my ass that's how I "tapered". I feel a little bit. Better but the cold sweat's are the worse..
No offense...but what kind of heroin addict can't generate any money for 45 days? How did you ever manage homeless or not? Not trying to be a jerk, I've been addicted 21 years and your story really interested me. I'm curious I guess?!
@@DetroitFettyghost I was kinda wondering the same honestly.... I get an hour into bad withdrawals and im trying to figure out how to make some kind of money.... But to everyone else, methadone is not the way, I got back on dope to get off that shit... The worst decision I made... But I guess all my decisions to are bad to be in the position I am currently in ... Good luck to everyone, I hope you find your peace and happiness..... Somehow...
I used the Coleman Institute to detox from ten years of Suboxone use in 2019 and have stayed clean since. They were truly amazing and so compassionate. I’m grateful to have found them because getting through the detox on my own wasn’t something I could manage. The real work is after the detox though because that’s when you have to focus on the psychological and spiritual aspects of healing.
This place is freaking amazing. I was on a crazy train of opiates and COULD NOT STOP. I tried so many times. By the grace of god I found this place. The staff, the treatment, the procedure was unbelievable. You’re still going to have to pay the piper and do some work but it’s unbelievable and I am over 90 days clean. I’m just climbing up over the mountain. I cannot thank the Coleman institute enough. 🙏
@@ivydemichael3661 I don't know nothing about this place and can guarantee they don't take Medicaid. Any place that actually cares about making a patient experience as little pain as possible won't accept Medicaid. The places that do will give you bare minimum treatment and let u suffer thru the rest. This why I still haven't gone
@@RebekahPortilloLuvsJesus Luckily my insurance covered all of it. I paid like a $60 copay. Nonetheless, I think if you pay out of pocket it’s around 5k or so. This ain’t cheap but compared to the ridiculous price of rehab, 50k or so, it’s cheap.
So until I have 100% knowledge of how some of these medical doctors can treat opioid addiction without any pain or suffering…. I will just keep watching and understanding more and more that nobody knows what the hell and how to treat it
Methadone, suboxone works for withdrawls but you just replace one drug for another so you'll be back square 1. What I find very effective is this plant called Kratom.
I did this program twice. I’m a 17 year addict half my life. I’m going back on the 11th for a 3rd time because it is the only way I can get clean. I did methadone Suboxone etc. I’m hoping this is my last but this program is amazing.
@@diaryofarealmom3264 if you don't mind me asking, what are you detoxing from and how big of a habit? How did you feel during this program and the day you left? Could you function?
It's not possible to come off of an opiate or and opioid without suffering what this doctor described is just replacing an opiate for an opioid regiment. The best that you can do is to minimize the suffering by tapering but at the end of the day a price must be paid to reach homeostasis you are going to have to feel uncomfortable while your brain upregulates its natural neurotransmitters that it has not had to produce because of the opiate you have been using to replace them.
There are some patients who have great difficulty adjusting to a lower opioid dose. They experience withdrawal continuously for much longer periods than expected. One patient used Buprenorphine Hydrochloride to detox to zero then remained bedridden in withdrawal for five months without improvement. He restarted opioids and became productive and maintained a stable dosage for eleven years. A forced taper to 40% of dosage eight years ago resulted in the same bedridden existence with withdrawal symptoms persisting to April of 2022 and beyond. Low IGF-1 indicating a possibility of low growth hormone has been the only abnormality that may offer treatment suggestions however no connection has been found with how Opioid receptors reset. I have found four examples and all four developed chronic pain following a traumatic brain injury that was from a back of head deceleration. The pituitary stalk does not appear well equipped for these types of impact events.
@@stephanielee1261 I know how that feels its shitty as hell. I'm back on 4mgz a day 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. That's cutting down from 8 mgz a day, but if I go any lower the feeling is exactly like you say.
@@death265 It's the restless legs and sweats that I can't stand. If I could just stay still enough to sleep I could deal with it. I've been smoking weed, but that's barely helping.
Better of switching....you don't no what your talking about. I don't take Suboxone cause to me it's just another street drug unlike methadone which have saved a ton off people and got lives back. .and is regulated and served daily by nurses. .and so fucking what if it gets u high I've been on the same dose for over a year!! U can say what I want about methadone...I look at facts
And everybody knows that u always try and get 3 subs a day so they take the one and sell the other...cause nobody needs 3 subs...let alone 2....so your comment which got a high lighted comment...obviously the person that gave u that must have been high why tell someone to switch to get high!! It's the same thing there both derived around maintenance ...not to get high slick!! If your gonna talk about drugs get your facts straight...cause I represent all attics that gets a bad name....there's no difference between and attic who had ten years to someone who has ten minutes...only difference is the clean time
Hi Walker Texas Ranger-There is a national network of physicians that Dr Coleman has trained to perform this procedure over the past 20 years. Please call us at 888-788-5474 to learn about the office closest to you. Best wishes.
@@Rightwinger1982 I am starting this treatment tommrow what is that medicine u just mentioned Is that what they use this is my first time going thru this
this video needs a LOT more views and attention. I wouldn't recommend staying on naltrexon or suboxone person experience I'll admit i went in to psychosis and i'll probably never be able to fully get clean. As addicts we know we are powerless and are hard on ourselves. Without a higher power of some sort or a strong support system there won't be much success because without a plan you'll end up right back where you were. I've gotten completely clean a few times and within a month it's like I blink and boom I'm thinking about suboxone. Rationalizing the fact it's to "get you off" of opiates and maintanence etc. Yup.
Detox is a misnomer. The opioid addiction recovery process has nothing to do with some sort of toxicity level and everything to do with regaining a natural equilibrium. Your brain your nervous system and endocrine system have all been altered to where they have to be re educated on how to function without the opioids. Prolonged opioid exposure profoundly alters these systems rendering them almost inoperable without some sort chemical assistance. These systems regulate pretty much every body function as well as mental stability. It's not even a healing process which the body is familiar with. It's far more complex. Good luck to all those who try this but never get discouraged to the point of giving up. It could take much longer than anticipated and it's sad society does not want to accept this.
You're absolutely right, Jeff Hucle. Withdrawal management (often called 'detox') is just the first step in a healing process. It takes a long time for the brain to heal. These are powerful drugs that affects various parts of the body in profound ways. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
I’ve been here twice. I’m going back for my 3rd time on the 11th this month. It is the ONLY way I could get clean, and it’s the reason I was able to have kids, and gave me 6 months of clean time. Im hoping this is my last time going. If you have any questions you can ask me.
Hi Aaron-The out-of-pocket cost varies a good bit based on someone’s insurance coverage, the substances and quantities used, and location. Lots of patients come on a self-pay basis, but many Blue Cross Blue Shield, Tufts, and Humana plans cover our programs. We are working with other insurance companies to expand coverage. Please call us at 888-788-5474 for more specifics about your particular situation. Best wishes to you!
@@diaryofarealmom3264 Can I ask how you feel a few months out? I've watched videos on ppl who have done the advanced rapid detox and they all seem to really suffer from post acute withdrawls, major depression etc in the following months which leads to relapse? Also how do you feel right afterwards. How long would I have to take off of work possibly to do something like this?
What about an induced coma for 10-14 days? Let the body detox naturally but the patient can be unconscious the whole time? I understand that would be expensive and would probably need ICU level care, but wouldn’t that be the safest and least uncomfortable way for patients instead of the ultra rapid detox and the Coleman Method where you are still introducing “comfort drugs”? So instead of using other drugs and naltrexone to force detox and then giving comfort meds, just let the body do it slowly over that time naturally and keep the patient induced in a coma and when they wake up they shouldn’t be in any withdrawals and Vivitrol or naltrexone can be used to prevent relapse at that point.
You are right on - a 10-14 day coma would work quite well. But there are side effects with any detox method - cost, danger of being on a ventilator, dehydration, malnutrition, etc. The truth is that for most patients, our detox works so well that we don't have to go to those extraordinary lengths. Very safe and very comfortable and Anthem BXBS are so happy with our results that they cover the detox and 6 months of follow up naltrexone - Dr Coleman
You’re still going to feel like crap for a while after that until your brain re-wires itself from being off the opiates and produces dopamine naturally. It took me over a year to start feeling normal again and not feeling exhausted all the time.
@@Dreamsindriveways818 the only thing with that is your brain still needs to “rewire “ itself to produce dopamine naturally, and that definitely takes more than 2 weeks.
What about the damn pain that you are taking these drugs for?!?! Why aren’t these doctors/people talking about how they’re now dealing with their excruciating pain?!?! NOT THE ADDICTS WHO DON’T HAVE LEGITIMATE PAIN!
Chronic pain is a tricky problem. Opioids are great painkillers for short term use but very quickly the brain and the body get used to them - so patients get dependent and after a while patients are often actually in more pain - what is called opioid induced hyperalgesia (OIH). Almost all the patients who come to us for detox find their pain is less after the detox - often within the first week. They are amazed - but each situation is different and you would need to talk with your doctor.
You realize the opioids make the pain worse and worse over time because as you build tolerance you need more opioids. The opioids trick your receptors to tell you you are in more pain than you are so you take more opioids.
7-10 days...I WISH that's all it took. The very first time I ever tried to quit, I was 19 years old. I had been doing about 60mg of Oxycontin every day for a month and a half, and prior to that I had been using 20-30 mg or so every weekend for three months. I had two weeks off from school for winter break, so I figured, what better time to quit? How hard could it be? I'm not using needles, I'm not injecting heroin, it can't be _that_ difficult! Oh boy...two weeks later, I still couldn't brush my teeth, I was in so much pain and agony. Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't function at all. And on the Sunday before I was due to go back to school, I just couldn't take it anymore. And on that day, that was the very first day I tried heroin.
Hi Nick--Self-detoxing off opiates IS incredibly hard. Please don't lose hope. Look for the right form of Medication-Assisted Treatment for you, whether that is buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone. We've helped over 8,000 people through the withdrawal process and onto the non-addictive opiate blocker, naltrexone, over the last 20 years. We use tiny doses of naltrexone to speed up the withdrawal process without precipitating full withdrawal. We also customize a set of comfort medications to help manage any symptoms that do appear. When we've surveyed our patients, most of them report that their detox using the Coleman Method was easier and more comfortable that other approaches they have tried. Best wishes!
This place is legit. I did it and am 90 days clean. Dr Coleman is a brilliant man for creating this place. I am so glad I found it while trying to quit opiates for the millionth time…you’re saving lives doc!
@@karanfield4229 I was reminiscing about when I was younger. I’m now almost 40, lol. They didn’t have buprenorphine back then. Well, they did, but it wasn’t FDA approved for addiction treatment. And methadone was (and still is) very restricted. Nowadays people have it a lot better. And with Sublocade and Brixadi it’s even easier now.
@Nic It went really well. The first night was really bad but they allowed me to come in early the next morning and immediately got me comfortable. I received the naltrexone implant but opted out of further naltrexone/vivitrol. I'm older and concerned about being immune to pain meds if needed for medical issues/accidents. Highly recommend TCI if you have the financial means...it was $8k
I also went and cannot say enough good things about it. I was fortune enough to pay hardly anything because my insurance covered it. Even if they didn’t I would have gladly paid 8k.
@SuperJcclark Wow, that is awesome that your insurance company paid it!! Incredible. Unfortunately for me, I opted out of further naltrexone implants. And, well...
Sedatives dont help me sleep while in withdrawal. I once took 10 Ambien (no one should EVER do this) and still couldnt sleep due to RLS. That was on day 10!! Doctors dont realize that even short acting Opiates like Oxy have a 30 day detox period, not a 7-10 day. It took 30 days of hell before I got 1 hour of sleep. Then after 45 days I was getting 3-4 hours of sleep. After 90 days I was sleeping almost a full night. Sleep is the #1 problem with Opiate withdrawal and is what causes most to relapse. Long acting Substances like Suboxone are even harder to get off, 4-6 months until youre sleeping normally even with the help of Xanax or Ambien.
I have chronic pain and have had it all my life I am 42 I feel like I am addicted to painkillers and I do go through withdrawals when I do not have them please help please help if you think I need help I think I may need it

Hello Dr. Coleman I have been clean now for twenty days went cold turkey off heroin/ fentanyl it was brutal but I made it through and am starting to feel better. Only issue is throughout this whole getting clean process I have been in the comfort of my home with family and friends. I will have to go back out in the real world again and the thought of leaving home scares me to tears I don't wanna use again but I still don't think I'm strong enough to say no or first chance I get go find it. I've made such progress but is it all for nothing if I can't even leave home without the fear of failure?
You can do it man, think about it this way. Youve gone that far already why keep putting urself through withdrawal over and over please keep your head up and in praying for you. Check out Steven furtick amd david goggins. They are awesome man. Its all in your mind the whole thing is a battle in your mind once your out of physical withdrawals. If you need anyone to talk to I'm here for you. I'm currently tapering off of them now. You've went so far dont look back and strive to make your family proud. God bless. pray for me and ill pray for we !!
Don’t lose hope, RogueRodent 110! One powerful tool that helps many people in your situation is long-acting naltrexone (e.g. Vivitrol or a naltrexone implant). As a non-addictive opioid blocker, naltrexone reduces cravings and helps prevent relapse. You’re right to be mindful about who you choose to associate with and to be mindful of settings where you might put your hard-fought recovery at risk. Best wishes!
The way I see it is just remember all the negative things that come with using. Remember all the bad times and how much of your life you spent doing it. For me personally I had so many bad memories and experiences that I would rather die then go through them all again. Makes it not even a choice to consider 👍 you got this! So much more to life than chasing a high
Oh man. With all due respect to the very good doc. And this method works great aswell. For the relatively newer addict. But an addict of 10...0r 15 years. Do not take this approach. As you probably already know what I'm talking about. So yes. Stick to just maintaining the bear minimum of M.done. don't necessarily take what ure doc gives or prescribes you for more than the withdrawal period. Stick to maintaining with " as little " as possible to feel okay. But do maintain. And continue weening fff the M.done aswell. Till you feel you areat bear minimum. And then stay there for a while. Remember. Don't suddenly do anything. Not popular advice I know. But deeper reasoning. P.s if you don't understand what I mean . Do not assume you do. Speak to a professional.
So do you still anesthetize pts? You didn't describe the process at all besides the microdosing of Naltrexone and the "comfort" drugs. What medical problems did the original pts experience after the anesthesia treatment? Wouldn't the anesthesia cause the pts to vomit considering the side effects of anesthesia mixed with the withdrawal symptoms of opioids Asphyxiation happens so quickly, the moments between a nurse walking in and out of a pts room could be cause of a mortality, even with medication. How do you counteract this inevitable reaction?
Hi Kevin-Great questions. No, we don’t use anesthesia in any of our detox procedures today, and haven’t for almost 20 years. When we did use that method, we did so in a hospital so patients were under constant observation. The Coleman Method is a dramatic improvement on Ultra Rapid Opioid Detoxification / Anesthesia Detox / Sedation Detox because it avoids the dangers of anesthesia but is still comfortable enough that almost all patients complete the detox (98%) and are inducted onto long-acting naltrexone. Naltrexone is a non-addictive opioid blocker that reduces cravings and helps prevent relapse. Best wishes to you!
@@axemanarbor I've tried to detox and it seem this fentanyl stays in your system for over days!! I couldn't. I'm looking into the waisman method or anything that wont make me feel like I'm dying. But you said this can kill you?
@@danielcyr6489 he said, "inducted onto naltraxone", not the micro doses but tue full doses at the end, meaning there is no more opiates in the system or else that would be a big problem. Also the point he was making is that its "so confortable" that 98% of people make it thru. I havent done it, so I dont know, but if what he says is true, its probably not toooo bad. Especially compared to just straight kicking. Good luck!
I'm in Canada. Trying to get off Suboxone currently. I was on methadone for years but Ina small dose. I went from 85 mg to 10 MG's then switched to Suboxone. I'm at 4 mg buy can get away with 3 a day. I need to get off off off for good. CBD help a little bit. I also use peptides like Ipomorelin. I have also been on TRT through my treatment and that's another subject for another time.
Hi Crixus the Norman--We have developed an 8-day outpatient detox specifically to help folks transition from buprenorphine or methadone over to long-acting formulations of naltrexone. We've helped hundreds of people through this process and made a lot of improvements along the way. We use small doses of naltrexone to speed up the withdrawal process without precipitating full withdrawal. We also customize a set of comfort medications to help manage any symptoms that do appear. When we've surveyed our patients, most of them report that their detox using the Coleman Method was easier and more comfortable that other approaches they have tried. Hope that helps!
Nobody can successfully quit until very first they decide, realize, or determine that it’s what they want to do. Without that failure is inevitable for us. And yeah I got “detoxed” but that doesn’t mean your not in unbearable chemical withdrawals. Withdrawals happen when the body doesn’t have the chemical not just when its wearing off..... sometimes the best addiction treatment people/places are former addicts themselves not professors that quote books written by other professors for profit
Hi Brian - We agree with you about the importance of personal choice. FWIW Dr Coleman has been in long-term recovery himself since 1984. He has lived through opioid withdrawal himself, which is part of the reason he has dedicated his career to helping people get into recovery and stay there. He developed the Accelerated Opioid Detox based on his belief that there ‘had to be a better way’ than what he experienced. Best wishes!
@@thecolemaninstituteforaddi6234 this gives me hope! I am so desperate to get off fentanyl patches prescribed to me for many many years for a neck injury /subsequent surgery.

So sad they don't know how to wean off these drugs. Dr. Coleman I have been taking opioids for 18 years and have never had an increase or detox. I do have to wait for and hr and a half instead of 15 min. but I compensate by when I take my pills before due.
Hi Alexander-Really sorry to hear about happened to your friend. The dangers of general anesthesia are one of the reasons that inspired Dr Coleman to develop the Coleman Method for Accelerated Outpatient Detox. It is not Ultra Rapid Detox, but rather a better alternative. By using tiny doses of naltrexone on a daily basis, supported by a carefully calibrated set of comfort medications, we are able to deliver a safe and relatively comfortable experience over a 3-8 day outpatient process, depending on the substance and amount used. Best wishes to you.
What I have a hard time wrapping my mind around is that Suboxone for example, the drug I've been on for 6 years now, is a very long standing drug meaning it stays in your system for longer than most other drugs and therefore the detox process is long and painful of course and I'm not even talking about cold turkey, I'm talking a slow detox! So how on earth do they get the drug out of your brain and all of that within days without me as the patient being in horrible withdrawals for weeks??? because no matter what you read online the withdrawals do not only last for 7-10 days and they're not worst on those days. These withdrawals last for at least a month and it is excruciating pain for all of those weeks if you're doing it cold turkey like this clinic is clearly doing it!
Hi Anna I totally agree with what you are saying but in about 2004 I was in a very strict rehabilitation centre and at the time I was on about 80ml of methadone and injecting about at least a gram of smack at the same time but they did a rapid detox of about 10ml the 5 ml per day reduction plus giving me some type of blood pressure tablet that lowered the blood pressure. It didn't really take the pain away but made two weeks feel like a few days and I don't know why when I came of those B P I felt as high as a kite one day but the day after started to feel better. So I'm saying I once did a straight detox from 90ml of methadone plus heroin and I was in pain for a few months but the blood pressure medication method 2 to 3 weeks I was fine. Just thought I'd tell my experience to others maybe it help someone.
Ok after I push all the drugs out of body the body still needs to start producing the regulated amount of normal dopamine: isn’t that what withdrawal is, not just the drugs leaving the body but the body now having to produce its own levels of normal Dopamine. So after you push all the drugs out won’t the patient still feel withdrawal!
I have a benign tumor on my palm and near the rectum that causes extreme pain it’s very unusual they have biopsied it and they know it’s not cancer. It took me 30 mg of methadone to control the pain. I tried many other drugs none of them were successful like methadone. Because the long half-life methadone has actually been a lifesaver for me. But I always worry about forgetting it if I go on a trip or what if I couldn’t get it would if there was some kind of civil unrest and I couldn’t get it that really worries me. I have come off of it completely and the pain returned and it was so bad I can’t work I can’t do chores I can’t do anything. They can’t remove the tumor well they can they think but I’ll have to have a colostomy bag. And I’m only 55. The colorectal surgeon and the urologist both told me they would refuse to do the operation. My pain management doctor told me even if they did do the operation and I had a colostomy bag there’s no guarantee the pain will go away. That really surprise me I thought if they remove the tumor the pain would be gone. Either way I would rather take the methadone then have a class to me bag it allows me to leave a 100% normal life. But again I just fear what happens if I can’t get it. One thing I didn’t understand from this video as do they put people to sleep during this or do they just give you little bits of naloxanon
Hi Matt-Great question. Everyone should expect to have some post-acute withdrawal symptoms (PAWS). it varies a lot from person to person and on what the drugs they were using. Methadone and Suboxone are much worse. Our detox process seems to decrease the post-acute withdrawal symptoms because we use microdoses of naltrexone that start the brain producing its natural endorphins again more quickly. All of our providers stay in close touch with our patients so that we provide support if there are any post acute withdrawal symptoms. Hope this helps!
What's a pain patient of 26 years supposed to do? I have been on Fentanyl patches for about 8 years. The pain is so excruciating that I can't even move to get to the bathroom. I hold my pee for hours. My Doctor moved 5 hours away. I've been bedridden for 4 years except to take a medical ride to my doctor. I was on diludid for breakthrough pain 8mg 5 times a day. I came off of that. I don't know who to call or what to do. I was to the point I was having to reschedule my pain doctor appointments because I couldn't get ready, with the meds. I don't want to end up a suicide statistic. I fought that many times. I have children and now grandchildren. I want to live but I can't take the pain. I have a son with problems who needs me. I had 16 abdominal surgeries. The 12th damaged me to the point I couldn't work. My neck went out while I was in bed for 8 months in the beginning. I guess it's due to 5 car accidents, none that I was driving. My spine is a mess. I was diagnosed with a brain Malformation that was bleeding. It killed my father. I had 6 bleeds, God was with me I was lucky to live. I have Addisons disease, osteoarthritis, degenerative arthritis, osteoporosis very severe in my feet. They took an x-ray and called me at home and told me they had never seen such a bad case. That's why I have a terrible time walking now. My question is what's a pain patient suppose to do? I take Gabepentin 800 MG. That didn't touch my nerve pain by itself without pain meds. Now opioids for pain are a big no-no. They gave me back some sort of life. I could be a mom again. I never abused my meds. EVER.
Help!help find a rapid detox in Australia. It never worked because the people doing it weren't ready. Now I'm ready and can't find anywhere in Australia.
I'm in the same boat. I tried tapering down to see if the pain is still there, and I got struck a HUGE amount of pain. I am looking into alternative methods to deal with pain, but it takes time to find something that will actually help. Like you, I am not addicted. I take a pill only for the pain. If your doctor stopped your pain pills, try to find another doctor to prescribe. We need to find something else to alleviate our pain and then cut back slowly.
Hi Bettina--Chronic pain is a tricky problem. Opioids are great painkillers for short term use but very quickly the brain and the body get used to them - so patients get dependent and after a while patients are often actually in more pain - what is called opioid induced hyperalgesia (OIH). Almost all the patients who come to us for detox find their pain is less after the detox - often within the first week. They are amazed - but each situation is different and you would need to talk with your doctor.
@@alannahmay3823 I would start by admitting you are addicted. Opioids dont care if you take them because of psychological problems, physical imbalances, pain, fun, loneliness, peer pressure or boredom.
@@jenniferlavender4391 Yeah dependancy is a physical thing while addiction is a personal trait i guess. But body and mind cant be completely separated, a sore body will affect your mind and vice versa.
Ok so getting folks off opioid is ok but what about if your body is still a mess and in pain all the time cause surgery ain't gonna fix the issues your body has it's 1 thing to use the drug to get high but it another thing to use the drug to get bye
I think this is just for addicts. I have chronic pain, so this won't work for me. Try searching for pain forums on Google. I have been in search of alternative methods that I can try.
The funny thing is that most of our patients who were using opioids for chronic pain find that after we detox them, and put them on long acting Naltrexone, their pain actually goes down. We think it is because their endorphins (natural painkillers) come back and the naltrexone blocks their cravings - Dr Coleman
Suboxone detox could last months. I’ve been through it multiple times the longest I’ve done it was 120 days horrible. Couldn’t sleep for months. But thing I ever did was leave the subs alone.
@@alrivera7520 unfortunately the 100 years they spent in medical school and they still don't know shit about opiates and especially MAINTENANCE DRUGS. It's actually such a shame. 8 days my ass. No wonder the percentage of successful recoveries is so low.
@@danielcyr6489 yeah ppl are actually opening there eyes. This whole entire medical field is a money scheme. Peep blitz. Subs somehow they figured out a way to make you dependent right. These new depression meds make you dependent on them. They figured out ways to make you continue to spend your money with them. Detox cold turkey is the best way to do it suffer from the pain and remember the pain so you don’t go back. Tell your self everyday you can do it. Your mind and body will follow suite. All these solutions are more Ways for us to be comfortable to keep continuing to get high in life. You eliminate everything that has to Do with the drugs ppl places and things the shit you’ve probably been hearing your whole life if your an addict. Do it. It works. You don’t need meetings you need a support system ppl who love you and are willing to Listen to you when your down and out. God bless you all and this is no joke look up SSRI MEDS. Ppl who never experienced drug withdrawal, are experiencing something they never been through and don’t even know it. It’s sad that they are really pushing the meds that don’t even work. They told me my whole life I had issues with mental health no I had a problem with mood altering chemicals and that’s it. Been almost three years without any meds and I feel great. Btw they told me is bypolar schizophrenic oh boy was the wrong.
@@alrivera7520 I agree with everything you said .because I had same experience doctors just want to get you hooked on something so that can get paid ..best advice in life to live long is stay away from doctors a 100 year old woman told me that .
There are many ways to detox. Jail detox is often surprisingly easy because there is no choice but to go through it. Inpatient psych ward detox can be very good if they know what they are doing and they pay attention to their patients. Dr Coleman
@@thecolemaninstituteforaddi6234 it’s very easy to get drugs in jail. I say they were the best cause they didn’t coddle me. It was Librium in jail and I was lucky if I got serax in the psych. Every one is different and what works for some may not work for others but it’s painfully obvious that doctors and clinics only have money on the mind, and I get it. God bless America… if people want real help they’ll stop treating the symptoms and start treating the problems.
Any place in Tucson Arizona like this? I was addicted to opiates for 5 years, then I went to treatment and got on methadone. I had no idea what that was and that was the worst mistake I've ever made. I was up 96mg of methadone. I withdrawal from Methadone and got down to my last 2mg and then 0 and then I started doing pills again and I'm really sick and tired of it and I just want help but I do not want to go on methadone or anything like that ever again. I just want to get through this but cold turkey is just so hard for me. And I don't have money to go into a rehab facility. So if anyone has any advice I would super duper appreciate it. And this is so embarrassing even writing this I feel like a POS and my family doesn't know I relapsed again which makes me feel even worse, because they all think I'm doing so good and I'm lying to them and to myself. So please help me, SOMEONE!!!!
I know how you feel. I bought Suboxone film from my oxy dealer and was able to get myself and my girlfriend off with almost no suffering. You have to wait 24+ hours from your last pill/dose before u can take the suboxone film but than you immediately get relief from withdraw effects. My body metabolizes the pills faster than her so I took my film 24 hours after the last dose and she had to wait 48 hours. So yes you will be in the beginning stages of withdrawal before you can take the Suboxone but if u are ready to be clean and live your life than a little suffering should be the least of your concern to get your life back. Good luck Steph
Don’t be embarrassed!! Ironically I live in Tucson as well & I am going through the same thing. My advice is to try to taper yourself off the pills. So by doing less & less each day by the time you’re only doing 1 pill a day the withdrawals won’t be as bad. Take OTC meds to help your symptoms. Change your routines, distract urself by doing sober activities, & you have to mentally train your mind to stay strong. Have you heard of ARC detox center in Tucson? It’s on Tanque Verde Rd & they accept Accra there & if u don’t have acces they help you apply for access. Arc is the best rehab/detox facility here. I wish u the best I know u can do it!!
How are you Stephanie,? things better. Shout out. I'm Sam . Extending my sincere friendship and support from afar. I read this one year ago. And said I'll ask her how she is 365 days later.
I wish they had a smart and well researched method for benzodiazepine withdrawal. The Ashton Manual is awesome but finding a doctor that understands it is hard since it isn't fda approved. Finding a doctor that knows flumazenil or how to even give it is almost impossible.
I feel that, I went thru benzos withdrawal once about 5 years ago and never took a benzos again. Bit I've been on and off opiates for years and have withdrawn probably 7 or 8 times. Opiate withdrawal is hell but benzos are on a whole different level. It's do able man. Taper or go to a detox center, don't cold turkey. Gabapentin helps alot but don't use it to much. Aside from that there's really nothing you can do. Best of luck buddy, if you want it you'll get it.
Benzos are a depressant like methadone and alcohol that's why they all three go hand and hand!!recipe for death!! Benzos and alcohol are the worst u can die if not withdrawled properly!! Valium works well with witjdrawl...and catapress...
You are absolutely right - the brain and receptors will not go back to normal in 3 days. We re not miracle workers! But the accelerated detox gets the drugs out quickly and the naltrexone seems to help the brain start making its own endorphins again more quickly, so it seems to speed up the healing process - Dr Coleman
@@danielcyr6489 first off they aren’t rapid which is awful, they are accelerated. Second, I’ve done it twice. It’s $8k depending on area. And you have to want it. The PAWS is hard but that’s what happens when you want to feel better than you are normally suppose to feel. I had a 17 year long addiction. The detox is the hardest part but then after is hard too.
I am on suboxone film strip, I'm prescribed half a film strip for one day. I have tried to go cold turkey. I made it almost 3 whole days but I couldn't take it no more, so I see my doctor and got a refill. Is there anything you recommend to help with withdrawals ? I workout and eat clean as possible. If I can make it through the withdrawals, I will never look back. I fill like such a failure because I take suboxone. If someone could tell me that after 3 days, I would feel better. I would do those 3 day due to there being a light at the end of the tunnel. But I know withdrawaling is different for everyone.
I’ve been on subs for five years now. Unfortunately, I’m on 3 Tablets a day. Which is way to much! Even tho I take subs, my life is so much better as far as being able to live my life. But in reality, I’m still an addict being controlled by an opiate. But my life is live-able today with able to live a normal life without thinking of getting high!! Good luck to you
@@spinoslayer4714 Subs felt like a miracle in the beginning but after a year of being on it I felt utterly depressed. It's like it destroyed my ability to be happy. I quit having highs and lows like a normal person and just felt under the weather 24/7. It took my libido away and everything. I hear a lot of people gain weight but it did the opposite to me. I actually lost weight and I was already a thin guy and I couldn't gain anything back. I stalked up on Kratom and used it after weening myself down to 2 mg a day. I couldn't drop any further. I tried and tried but just felt like I was in a constant withdrawal for months on end. Kratom helped me get off sub with minimal withdrawal but sadly it kind of replaced it to where I take it daily and your tolerance goes up extremely quick. The wd's from it aren't near as bad though. Subs were an excruciatingly long withdrawal so using Kratom to stop them did feel like it was making a difference and healing my brain in the process. I remember taking like 4 mg of Sub after not having it for a couple of months and really felt it so I knew the Kratom was definitely helping repair my receptors.

Hi, I would really appreciate a rapid response; I do have my doctor to reference as well but I usually get very short answers. I was on Morphine sulfate 30mg 2x daily and Hydromorphone 4mg 4x daily. I stopped the MS and was switched to Xtampza ER 18mg- The first day went okay, Second day at night had heart palpatations and rapid pulse, checked into the ER and EKG was fine, given colonidine to lower blood pressure. I am done with opioids for my pain management. But want to taper safely and correctly. I now have colonidine 2x daily and the hydromorphone; What would be the best, fastest, safest way to ease myself off of this medication with the colonidine or is there anything else I should request from my doctor? As for the time frame- Two days ago last MS 30mg---30 hours ago since last Xtampza ER- 18mg
I think his post is too old for people to answer yo maybe somebody in the comments can help us but this is like 2 years old I don't think they're going to answer us.

I’m on 80mg of methadone now I was on a lot higher and I do not do any other drugs at all other then my methadone and methadone is the worst withdrawal I’ve ever felt even doing OxyContin and fentanyl patches I with draw cold turkey I was fine in a week but methadone I literally wanted to kill myself methadone detox is crazy
I'm going on my 8th month of detoxing from 160mg of methadone to 0. Please lmk what you think of my documenting on my channel. love to talk to you more about this...love and blessings my friend
It's the same as Suboxone withdrawals and yes they are the worst fucking withdrawals I've ever been through! It is hell on earth!! Which is why I'm still stuck on this fucking drug!
Excellent, you're detoxed, how about the pain? What's done to help ease the horrible degenerative spondylitis? I am over 7 years on prescription oxycodone, 40 miligrams each 8 hours. It was prescribed by 3 professionals, The most prestigious Pain management clinic, a neurologist and palliative care specialists, I have x rays, MRI. full body scan and all possible diagnosis. If I get out of that med, there's no alternative to my terrible pain. Every specialists said: is either this medication or surgery. But, we cannot assure or give you a Proper result. Any ideas? Thank you very much.
Hi Steven -- Actually, we have great news on that front.

I'm addicted to dihydrocodiene and going on buprenorphine on Monday afternoon. The nurse mentioned this but could u explain further as Im not understanding it. My appointment is at 2pm monday and thats when I will have the first dose of buprenorphine... When should I take my last dose of dihydrocodiene do you have an idea?
Starting buprenorphine can be tricky because if you start too much or too early it can precipitate withdrawal which is very uncomfortable. You should totally talk to the clinic about when your last opioid should be.
Hi Jana - Absolutely. We detox people off of Suboxone frequently, and get them onto the non-addictive opioid blocker naltrexone to help reduce cravings and prevent relapse. Please call us at 888-788-5474 to learn more. Best wishes!
Hi Holly & Bolly - Currently, all of the office that provide an Accelerated Opioid Detox using the Coleman Method are located in the US.

Hi Clifford Kearns --Yes, we have developed an 8-day outpatient detox specifically to help folks transition from buprenorphine or methadone over to long-acting formulations of naltrexone.

When we've surveyed our patients, most of them report that their detox using the Coleman Method was easier and more comfortable that other approaches they have tried. Hope that helps!
Hi Drizzy Dre--The pricing varies based on the substance(s) used, location, and the patient's specific insurance plan. We have a number of patient video testimonials on our website at thecolemaninstitute.com/about-addiction/patient-feedback/video-testimonials/. There are also many positive reviews on Google and Facebook. I can tell you that our practice is built on helping patients get into long-term recovery, and our team takes pride in doing so in a caring, compassionate, professional, and non-judgmental environment.

Went to ER for norco withdrawal Doc gave me one 8mg subutex then another 4mg a hour later I’m home now but my legs hurt so badly I don’t feel as bad as I did but I still feel some type of withdrawal
Hi Jean-Charles-Thanks for your question. Everyone detoxing off of opioids should expect some degree of Post-Acute Withdrawal Symptoms (PAWS). It varies a good bit between individuals, and methadone and buprenorphine are much worse. Our detox process, which has been performed over 7500 times now, seems to reduce PAWS because we use micro-doses of naltrexone that start the brain producing natural endorphins again more quickly. Our practitioners all stay in close contact with patients so that we can provide support if there are any Post-Acute Withdrawal Symptoms. Best wishes to you!
@@thecolemaninstituteforaddi6234 thank you for replying. Let me first start out by apoligizing for calling what you do a farce. With 7500 helped, clearly many find it beneficial. As an IV opiate addict whose run the gambit of rehab, rabid detoxes, south american ayahuasca as well as ketamine and mdma trials - i have found that many times the 7-10 day period of the most acute withdrawls are addressed but the intense cravings, PAWS, lingering feelings of worthlessness as well the lack of addressing the issue of proximity to drugs and the lifestyle itself. Granted, the latter tends to be a ME issue and not the facilities. However, i worry if after a 5, 7 or 10 day stay with rapid detox and even a vivitrol or suboxone script is ultimately a failure if not done in conjunction with intense psychotherapy and perhaps even a merging of NA meetings and a sponser.
We couldn’t agree more, Jean-Paul. Detox is just the first step in the lifestyle changes needed for long-term recovery. Our program in Richmond, VA and Wellesley, MA includes 6 months of naltrexone therapy and case management to help people access the resources most appropriate for them. Thanks again for engaging in this discussion!

What is considered a tiny dose of naltrexone? Some have said 5mg is small, but I’ve read some who say .5mg is a small dose. I am waiting to get the Vivitrol shot but I haven’t successfully made it 7-10 days. Maybe I could try the oral naltrexone but I’m not sure how much to take on the first day with buprenorphine.
Could you please help me? For pain management, I am on a 12.5 Fentanyl patch, I was also taking 3 x 10mg of Morphine, which I have now got down to just half a 10mg pill... I used Gabapentin to help with those withdrawels. I'm not sure where to go from here. Next week I will be off the morphine, but then I need to get of the patch, thought to switch to Tramadol 300mg a day to start then taper down. My concern presently is 'Is the Gapapentin really helping withdrawels? Doctors where I live don't know what to do... They leave it up to me... lol...

Question good sir. What are your thoughts of iboga, or ibogain? I've seen clinical trials outside of the US and it seems to be a good, fast acting detox option. I know some people think, "an exotic psychedelic substance to get clean? Yeah right?" But it has results. 24 hours and cravings, withdrawal gone! The US won't utilize it, in my opinion cause it will cost more than classical methadone and bup. Thank you
I've read about ibogaine though haven't heard of anyone trying it. There are clinics who administer ketamine to help opiate detox, which is also a psychedelic, so may be worth looking into
@@zackwebb8697 I've heard of ketamine trials in psychotherapy. That's cool they are trying it with opiates. I've partaken in k at a festival once. I could see how it would help some people. Those who really want the change. 🍻
Unfortunetly my story can't come from my own personal experience but my brother a few years back after months of research and planning used iboga as his treatment method. His background was heavy oxy user for years then heroin for years after that (once oxy became financially a worser choice then hammer is because of supply). Then when finally seemed like bupe was the journey to getting clean spent years stuck on bupe. From a very basic before and after standpoint the iboga although in the short term the hardest thing he'd ever gone through did 100% work for him as if it was a miracle drug. However he went through an extreme detail to planning his lead up to using the iboga and was at a very strong mindset going into it. So all the conditions were primed for the best chance at having a successful detox situation. Im not sure how easy research on iboga is for opiates these days but back then there wasn't much for me to go off and most experts in the field id ask about it would seem to see it as a waste of time. Something that too this day I'm still puzzled about is my brothers experience genuinly was an outcome that was too good to be true where it makes no sense that there really doesnt seem to be much talk about it still both in online forums and professional circles. Surly if his reaction was common more people would be doing it and reporting back there experiences. This is why although I want to say Iboga seems like a very powerful option for treatment I keep heavy reserve into the state and mindset he was in going into using the Iboga for detox must've played a very big part to the experience. I see it as the personality:treatment:mentalstate:placebo ratio was at the right levels which have a part to play in any method when trying to get clean

No it is not the same. Naloxone is shorter acting (about 1 hour) and is used for overdoses to quickly bring people back and save their lives. Naltrexone is longer lasting. We use Vivitrol which lasts a month or Implants that last 2 months. They really help decrease cravings and avoid relapse.

Hi DD Bears36--We see a lot of patients these days who are using fentanyl (both knowingly and otherwise, since it is appearing even in other substances like marijuana or powder that is being sold as cocaine).

Wow doesn't mention anything of withdrawal levels during that fast process until the end when he said they feel comfortable by the last day, and no shit its the last day, I've always been able to get through physical withdrawal in 3 days of hell and by the third day been like oh God I feel so much better and thats without for BS plan the problem is that 3days of hell before feeling better.
3 days lol. That’s crazy… usually it’s 7-10 says. They SEDATE you so you don’t feel the 3 days. I’ve done this program twice and it’s a miracle worker.
Does the low dose naltrexone on the first two days just cause slight precipitated withdrawal for a short period of time to speed up the procees a bit? Also, how do you finish the withdrawal process on the 3rd day? Wouldn't naltrexone cause precipitated withdrawal as long as there are still opioids on your receptors since it's an antagonist? Isn't that why you normally need to wait a long time to start vivitrol?
Hi Bryan Scully--You definitely understand the concept and the process. Over the last 20 years, we've been able to calculate the exact doses needed to speed up the detox process without precipitating too much withdrawal. We also customize comfort medications to treat any symptoms that may appear.
Hi Jules--Thanks for your comment. When we've surveyed our patients, most of them report that their detox using the Coleman Method was easier and more comfortable that other approaches they have tried. We have a lot of experience over the last 20 years with over 7,500 patients and that has helped us get very good at the specific dose needed to speed up the process without bringing on too much withdrawal suddenly.
No, it’s not as bad as precipitated withdrawal from subs and you are sedated so you don’t feel it. You might have moments of lucidity to throw up or have diarrhea but not enough to feel the detox. I’ve done this program twice. It’s amazing.
I’m on day 5 of oxy detox but have an important meeting for court if I use once (so I can function in the meeting) will that set me back another 7 days?
No 1 day of using won't put you back another 7 days. You should find the shortest acting opiate and get hooked on that first for a few days. It'll be easier to quit a shorter acting opiate then long lasting one like Suboxone. Methadone I was fine in 3 days (somehow) I'm quitting hydromorphone now and on day 2. Using A little Suboxone to.
Do you guys do suboxne detox, I am on 3 mg suboxne, when I try to quit it , horrible sickness , if I do detox from you guys , still I have to suffer sickness, when I try to quit , I have major body restlessness , is detox gonna reduce my body restlessness
Try being on 24mg a day. I dont know how I'm gonna going tobbe able to do it. But I only have 3 weeks to do it in. I fear there's a really bad 3 weeks ahead of me
@@swayjaayy5495 I'm gonna pray for your speedy recovery. Your gonna make it I been off methadone since 3/6/21 and I'm doing pretty good but I do use kratom. It's been a godsend for me. I know I have to withdrawal from the kratom too but it should be easier than other opiates
