NO WITHDRAWAL PAIN?

The pain of withdrawal stops many people from attempting a detox


Many people who have become dependent on or addicted to heroin, OxyContin (legal heroin), methadone, Vicodin and other narcotic drugs say that the biggest reason that they don't want to stop taking the drugs is because of the pain of withdrawal.  

 

In this week’s Novus newsletter Mr. Hayes explains:

 

The difference between opioids and opiates

The factors that create painful withdrawals 

The reason why Novus patients say that opiate/opioid withdrawals are less painful and many say they’re not painful at all

 

Novus Medical Detox Center director, Steve Hayes, states, "While all of us have different pain thresholds, most of our patients tell us that they experienced little or no pain.  This is a great surprise to them.  One man who came to us on a very high dose of methadone told me that he was amazed that he was not experiencing any real pain.  He was uncomfortable sometimes and stayed in his room, but this was not what he expected.  In fact, he told us that he chose Novus not because he believed that his withdrawal would be pain-free but because he felt it was a good place to be sick and that he would receive the appropriate medical care.  You can read his success story and others here:http://www.novusdetox.com/methadone-detox-success.php."

 

 Here is a recent Novus patient’s success story:

I wouldn't change a thing about my stay at Novus.  The entire staff as well as the patients have been wonderful.  I would recommend Novus to anyone and everyone with any kind of addiction.

I want to acknowledge everyone!  I want to thank all of the staff for being so kind, understanding and warm.  They have all made my stay here exceptional and it will be hard to say goodbye.

While at Novus, I have realized how my drug addiction affected not only me, but my family, friends and professional life.  I now look forward to a new start, a healthy one and I see myself using my time and energy to focus on my career and family rather than where I'll get my next fix. 

I will forever remember the wonderful staff and their words of wisdom and encouragement and I appreciate everything they have done for me.  Not only have they made me realize that I no longer want to use, they have opened many doors of opportunity to further assist me in my drug free life.  I will take with me their advice and use it to the best of my advantage and I can't wait to go home and see the world in a new light. 

Thank you Novus for everything you have done for me!  I will appreciate it forever and word cannot express how thankful I am for the love and compassion you all have shown me.
