Thanks for visiting The
Coleman Institute, LLC, the Advanced Center for Addiction Treatment
(formerly The Commonwealth Addiction Treatment Center).
For nearly seven years The Coleman Institute has been helping people by detoxifying and stabilizing
them from the effects of Heroin use and other opiates such as
Methadone, Oxycontin, Percodan, Vicodin and other narcotic drugs.
Due to the overwhelming response from patients and their families,
we have a treatment center in Orange County, California servicing the West
Coast.
Through our early experiences with detoxification
and with the use of newly developed techniques, we have realized
remarkable success with over 1000 patients - freeing them from
the damaging effects of drug addiction. In most cases our patients
have remained drug free for extended periods of time and have
taken significant and permanent steps in putting their lives and
the lives of their families back together by remaining drug free.
If you or someone close to you is trapped by a
drug or alcohol dependency addiction, The Coleman Institute is
waiting to help. For a quick and CONFIDENTIAL discussion, Contact
Us and begin the screening process.
Improved Program
Recent developments by Peter R. Coleman, MD, the Center's Chief
Medical Officer, and his staff have given The Coleman Institute
a breakthrough program called the Accelerated Detoxification Technique
(ADT). This advanced technique, developed in 2000, is much easier
on the patient, is more effective, safer and much less expensive
than other treatments available.
In the past we used the Ultra Rapid Detoxification (URD) technique
that was developed in Europe in the 1980s. The URD method involved
putting patients under general anesthesia in an acute hospital
setting and rapidly injecting the drug Naltrexone to flush all
remaining opiates from the brain receptors. While we had no major
complications with URD, we found the procedure was very uncomfortable
for our patients. When they awoke from the anesthesia they usually
felt, as they described it, "absolutely awful." Moreover,
URD was very expensive due to the hospital setting required for
the anesthesia. As Dr. Coleman himself is a recovering addict,
he understands this intense level of pain and has dedicated his
work to developing a better way to help.
Easier, Safer, More Effective and Less Expensive
The Accelerated Detoxification Technique's unique advantages
include:
- Much Easier on
the patient through the use of a number of medicines including
Ultram and other sedatives
- Safer in
that no general anesthesia is needed
- More Effective with
the use of a long term Naltrexone implant - over 99% of Coleman
Institute patients have completed the crucial detoxification
phase of the technique
- Less Expensive because
the technique is performed on an outpatient basis
Better Than Buprenex
The new process is easier on the patient because the drug Ultram
is used versus Buprenex in the new technique. Using Ultram, the
ADT is completed in a 3-day period versus the 7-10 days required
for Buprenex to effectively detox. On using Ultram Dr. Coleman
said, "In my opinion Ultram is a better drug than Buprenex
because it is easier on the patient as it relieves the withdrawal
symptoms, especially in those first few days."
The combination of these advantages makes the Accelerated Detoxification
Technique the preferred and affordable method of treating and
detoxifying opiate addicted patients today. This method, with
the added element of a reliable support person to assist during
the process, is showing remarkable results in helping patients
get their lives back on track.
Naltrexone Implants
Over 99% of all patients get completely detoxified through the
Accelerated Detoxification Technique and started on Naltrexone.
Once the detoxification phase is complete, we insert the Naltrexone
implant completely blocking the impact of any opiates for at least
six weeks. Getting through this critical period gives The Coleman
Institute patients a significant head start in staying drug free
permanently. We have been very impressed with the effectiveness
of the Naltrexone implant and recommend it for all our patients.
While there are never any guarantees that a patient won't go
back to using addictive opiates, this new method, if followed
by a strong commitment to stay in the recovery program, offers
the very best chance of a patient getting and staying clean. The
entire treatment process, from screening to follow-up, is discreet
and easy to start.
