Rapid Opiate Detoxification (ROD) is widely advertised as an “immediate cure� for addicts searching for a quick fix to their problem. Unfortunately, numerous people are seduced by these absurd claims and subject themselves to dangerous and sometimes lethal procedures. ROD is physically dangerous for a number of reasons. The aggressive assault on the body and brain with concentrated amounts of medication used to block the opioid receptors isn’t safe, particularly for someone who has been abusing their body with drugs and alcohol for years. Co-occurring medical disorders are often present and go undiagnosed during addiction; these underlying conditions can cause complications when a detox is done safely and the risk is exponentially increased during a dangerous procedure like rapid detox.
