What substance abusers may not know about is a breakthrough in first-step detox treatment that allows them to move more quickly and safely through withdrawal with less discomfort than ever before. This seems to help give them a tremendous boost by offering substance abusers a real chance to start a complete recovery program, experts say.

Alan Shultz, M.D., Medical Director at the Coleman Institute, is a recovering addict and understands the intense level of pain associated with withdrawals. He has dedicated his work to offer a detox method that will provide safety and minimal discomfort. He also understands the reality that opiate addiction doesn’t end with just detoxification. The relapse rate is very high without a carefully planned aftercare program.

The Coleman Institute offers an Accelerated Detox technique featuring a three-day outpatient program, followed by an implantation of Naltrexone. Naltrexone is a nonaddicting opiate antagonist, which prevents the patient from relapsing and experiencing cravings. “People are amazed,” said Dr. Peter Coleman. “Patients tell me that for the first time in their lives, they are free from cravings.”

Aftercare Directors are on-site in each location to supervise the correct course of aftercare for each patient. Individuals are assessed on the initial visit and they receive continuing support following treatment for up to 12 months.

The Coleman Institute sets the stage for long-term recovery. Completion of the Accelerated Detox followed by 12-step support, individual counseling, abstinence, and 12 months of Naltrexone implants offer hope for a lifetime of sobriety that is bright with promise. The Coleman Institute offers a free consultation. Services are affordable and financing is available.

The Institute guarantees that patients can begin detox in 48 hours. The Institute will also provide Naltrexone pellets for patients who have completed detox in a program elsewhere.
