About MRODS

Utilizing the clinically safe procedure known as, Anesthesia Assisted Rapid Opiate Detoxification (AAROD) which provides a rapid detoxification process (4 - 6 hours) that significantly diminishes the withdrawal discomfort and time. This is followed by structured continuing care for ongoing recovery. It has shown to be successful in treating dependency on wide range of opiate-based drugs and medications including:

  • Heroin
  • Narcotic pain relief drugs such as Vicodin, OxyContin, Lorcet, Darvon, Morphine, Demerol, Codeine
  • Methadone
  • Opium

This highly successful program for individuals who have become dependent upon opiate-based drugs and medications brings together two integral parts of the recovery process. Utilizing the clinically safe procedure known as, Anesthesia Assisted Rapid Opiate Detoxification (AAROD) which provides a rapid detoxification process (4 - 6 hours) that significantly diminishes the withdrawal discomfort and time. This is followed by structured continuing care for ongoing recovery.

AAROD is an Anesthesia-Assisted Rapid Detoxification technique designed to bring the patient to an opiate-free state at the receptor level by treating the disease at that point, instead of only withdrawing or substituting opiates with other dependency producing drugs. The patient is then entered into continuing care, which meets the patient's ongoing needs in the areas of his/her physical, mental, and spiritual life. By providing the patient with a relapse-prevention medication (Naltrexone) and a continuing care structure built on the solid foundation of an abstinence-based "twelve-step" model of recovery, the patient is offered the best possible chance at ongoing, continued recovery. Additionally the patient is enrolled in a one year aftercare support group which is provided by qualified MRODS staff.
