OPIATES / OPIOIDS
ADDICTION & REHABILITATION
|
Heroin Methadone Oxycontin Vicodin
Opiates such as morphine or codeine are drugs containing or derived from opium and tending to induce sleep and alleviate pain. Opioid drugs have the same narcotic effects as opiates but are not derived from opium, they are synthetic. Opiates or opioids bind to receptors in the brain, the nervous system and the digestive tract. They numb pain and produce a euphoric feeling.
Opiate addiction
Opiate abuse is very common, especially these days when opiates are available in a wide array of forms, including prescription pills on the black market, such as Vicodin and OxyContin, Oxycodone and Hydrocodone.
Opiate abuse creates a serious physical addiction which, when stopped abruptly, can lead to abdominal pains, runny nose, nausea, insomnia, agitation, and many flu-like symptoms. It has been acknowledged that many opioid users have pre-existing anxiety or depressive disorder
Opiate Detoxification
The main focus in conventional opiate detox consist of blocking the effects of the opiate in the brain and taper the presence of opiates in the body. Opiate detox may be performed under anesthesia for a faster initial detox process avoiding withdrawal symptoms. It is followed by administration of naltrexone an opioid antagonist. Naltrexone may be used orally or as an implant. There are many problems with the use of Naltrexone and studies have shown that it leads to dysphoria and suicidal despair.
Dysphoria is a psychological term describing a depressive or anxious mental emotional state or at least a state of lacking pleasure. The poor compliance with this drug has led to the use of another drug buprenorphine. Compliance maybe better, but why not use the natural resources of the body?

Natural detoxification
Generally there are not very severe physical effects of opiate detox besides the nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pains, and overall flu-like symptoms. These symptoms are not usually life-threatening, instead very uncomfortable and generally better to manage with medical care. Our natural detoxification procedure is very effective in treating the psychological and physiological cause of opioid addiction and in the management of opioid rehab. Our detox procedure consists in
Tapering opioid use slowly
- Increasing the endogenous production of natural opioids produced by the body in response to pleasurable actviities such as exercise, laughter and creativity.
- Flooding the body and the nervous system with nutrients from plant food in the form of juices and raw food
- Provide the necessary amino acids, vitamins and minerals to restore brain chemistry and assist in detoxification.

ADDICTION RECOVERY
- COCAINE -
I had been doing drugs heavily for 16 years and no rehab or therapist could change me.
I was too full of toxins for the twelve-step program to ever work on me. I needed to clean my body out so that I could feel normal enough to fight the desire to do drugs.
Dr Baylac awakened me.
I have remained cocaine free now for 2 years (2008)....
