LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The two most deadly and widespread addictions in America today are the addictions to alcohol and to prescription painkillers. Together, these addictions take a tremendous human toll on their victims. For those fighting addiction, recovery has always involved a long and intensely painful period of withdrawal as they are weaned off of their addiction. This truly awful experience is followed by a lifetime spent overcoming the cravings of psychological addiction.
Until now.
Now, according to Dr. Lucas Furst, CEO of the just-launched Las Vegas-based Innovative Detox, there is a dramatic new alternative for those suffering from either alcohol or prescription painkiller addictions.
“We have developed an exciting new patent-pending approach to overcoming these addictions,” Dr. Furst explained. “We call this approach the I-D Method, based on the exclusive Beckett Protocol, developed by board certified anesthesiologist Dr. Timothy Beckett. Dr. Beckett and his team put our clients through the worst part of withdrawal while under anesthesia, sparing them the intense suffering that accompanies conventional detox.
“Following their accelerated withdrawal, we provide our clients a range of supportive care to help them launch their new lives, free of addiction.”
Innovative Detox is patenting its I-D Method process because this unique withdrawal-and-recovery approach offers dramatic and significant differences from other addiction treatment programs that have been designed to help people kick an alcohol or pain-medication addiction.
“Some addiction treatment programs lock down patients for 30 days, housing them in a recovery hospital setting. However, we treat our patients in a comprehensive seven-day program that begins with anesthesia-facilitated withdrawal in a surgery center,” Dr. Furst pointed out. “Then our clients begin getting their addiction-free lives on track in a luxury Las Vegas resort setting.
“Other, older-model rapid-detox programs send their patients home within hours after their treatment, where they’re cared for by family or friends. However, our clients remain for four days at a luxury resort, and for the first 24 hours, they are attended by a licensed paramedic.
“Some older-model programs offer nothing beyond detoxing. However, we take a different approach. Following their anesthesia-facilitated withdrawal, our clients receive addiction counseling to deal with ongoing psychological addiction.
“We administer IV-hydration therapy to restore balance to our clients’ bodies which have been disrupted by their addictions. Our clients also receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments to begin their addiction-free healing at the cellular level.
“We even use sophisticated pre- and post-withdrawal computerized brain mapping. This demonstrates to our clients how much they’ve already accomplished – and these brain maps also guide our addiction counselors in helping our clients plan out their post-addiction lives,” Dr. Furst explained.
“Finally, we prescribe ongoing post-program addiction counseling, as well as a medication that – if taken as prescribed – will help our clients remain addiction-free for the rest of their lives.
“No other addiction-treatment program offers this distinctive, patent-pending combination of treatment modalities,” Dr. Furst concluded. “Unlike all older-model withdrawal-and-recovery programs, we focus on helping to launch our clients on their new lives, free of addiction.”
The concept behind the Anesthesia-Facilitated Ultra-Rapid Detox procedure, which has been significantly refined in the Beckett Protocol, was originally used in hospital emergency rooms across America, providing a medically safe way to detox drug-impaired patients before they can be treated for their medical emergency.
This anesthesia-facilitated withdrawal process was refined by Dr. Beckett, treating individuals with a remarkable success rate.
“During the initial use of the Beckett Protocol, and for a year afterwards, none of Dr. Beckett’s patients reported any relapse,” Dr. Furst noted. “We built our I-D Method around his proven treatment protocol, adding in a range of supportive services to enhance recovery that will help our clients begin their second chance at life, free of addiction.”
About Innovative Detox
Innovative Detox was created by four medical professionals to offer people addicted to alcohol or prescription painkillers a medically-sound alternative to traditional rehab. That can take a month or more to get their patients through withdrawal – followed by a lifetime of struggle to remain addiction-free by force of will – which produces a 75 percent failure rate. By accelerating withdrawal while under anesthesia, and by providing medical support against re-addiction, Innovative Detox offers a clear alternative to the traditional approach to detox and recovery, allowing clients to begin their second chance at life, one free from addiction.
While there are limited risks to any procedure involving anesthesia, the Beckett Protocol is seen as medically-safe when administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist.
