Our Anesthesia Assisted Detox forum is now moderated by Clare Waismann, a key figure on the leading Anesthesia Assisted Medical Opiate Detox scene. Clare has kindly agreed (although extremely busy herself in answering over 100 emails daily) to make herself as available as her schedule permits in answering any questions concerning this method of treatment.
Opiophile.org is backing the Waismann method of detox, based on their position in treating addiction is a medical condition or disease. While Opiophile.org is not a recovery board, we do believe in providing information concering all avenues in effectively treating opiate addiction (for those what wish to be treated.)

Quote:
The Waismann Method sm of rapid detox treats opiate dependency as a physical disease, one that can be overcome by utilizing advanced medical techniques. Traditional drug detox programs have a success rate of less than 10% after the first year. These statistics are even grimmer two years after treatment.
Traditional, ineffective drug detox programs are a thing of the past. The Waismann Method sm maintains its leading position in treating the disease of opiate physical dependency and sets the standard by which other treatments are measured. We are committed to changing the way the world views drug dependency. It is no longer a hidden and shameful disease of the stereotypical "drug addict," but rather a medical disease caused by a legitimate chemical imbalance.
