Not All Detox Centers Will Be Truthful With You
Below you will find a list of important questions that we believe should be asked when searching for an opiate detox facility for yourself or a loved one. Not all opiate detox centers are created equal, nor do they operate with the same high ethical standards that Advanced Rapid Detox believes are in the patients best interests. The Advanced Rapid Detox difference and advantage is clear.
If you or a loved one are considering treatments that promise to address opioid dependence, it’s crucial to understand that marketing materials sometimes make claims that sound scientific but lack clear explanation of how results are achieved.
FOR EXAMPLE YOU MAY SEE STATEMENTS LIKE THESE:
- “Re-regulates the endorphin-receptor system”
- “Re-normalizes the brain’s endorphin/receptor balance”
- “Cures addiction”
- “Heals the neurobiological causes of opioid dependence”
- “Eliminates relapse risk forever”
- “Eradicates opioid dependence at its root”
- “Resets the brain”
- “The entire process is painless”
These claims can be misleading so patients should always ask for specifics before deciding on a treatment.
Remember: Critical questions protect your health and help you make informed, evidence-based decisions.
Other important questions to ask are:
- Do I test, treat, and recover in a private hospital with medical care for the entire 4 day stay or am I expected to recover in a hotel with a companion?
- Do you provide medications for post-acute withdrawal symptoms, if so… what are those medications?
- Can I speak to several past patients to hear about their experiences at your clinic?
- Can you provide me with a superbill to attempt to be reimbursed by my insurance company?
- Do you require a deposit before coming for treatment, and if so… what is that deposit?
- What is your rating with the Better Business Bureau.
