Rapid opiate detoxification is a VERY terrible detox method and I suggest that nobody go through with it. There have been many horrid stories about this method and many fatalities as well. Basically you pay the doctor $1000-$1500, they go through with the procedure, give you the naltrexone pills, and they are done...done, they don't care what happenes afterwards, they got their money and that's that. Basically the patient feels deathfully sick when they awaken and some will vomit constantly right after they wake up. Just imagine the transaction going from being an opiate addict then to having absolutlry no opiate in their system at all. This is where it gets EVEN worse. The naltrexone method is god awful. They take the pill and what it does is block the opiate receptor sites so if the patient tries to use an opiate again either nothing will happen but most likely it gives the opposite effect by making them incredibly sick leading to, even possibly, death, and it has several times. I am highly against this method of detox. Methadone or buprenex method are both much better detox systems
