There are at least 3 components to narcotic addiction: physical addiction, psychological addiction and social
influence. We can only address the physical addiction. We can not promise or guarantee to eliminate it completely. Similar
to other ways to quit opiate drug addiction, after a person quits opiate drugs with the help of rapid detox, some patients
may experience depression, anxiety, feeling of boredom, feeling of loss of purpose, feeling of psychological craving for drugs,
insomnia, loss of appetite, dysphoria, feeling tired, feeling exhausted and generalized feeling of weakness. Patients are
required and recommended to undergo long-term emotional and psychological counseling for substance abuse problems after rapid
detox. These treatment can help reduce these symptoms. Patients need to have the psychological
issues such as anxiety, depression, dependent personality, poor impulse control, personality problems treated by mental health
professionals over the 6 months to 1 year after rapid detox so these underlying emotional problems do not cause the patients
to relapse. Such intensive and comprehensive psychological counseling and substance abuse counseling are necessay to prevent
relapse and to reduce the symptoms described above that are the after-effect of quitting opiate drugs. Medical ethics rules and regulations in many medical licensure jurisdictions forbid doctors and clinics from
offering any guarantee or promise to the safety and success of any medical treatment. Our treatment program is covered by
the same set of rules of medical ethics and regulations.
