I would not recommend this treatment to… I would not recommend this treatment to anyone. Living with someone with addiction is very hard but dealing with my husband after doing this procedures has been and is a nightmare. You do not get after care as they say. You actually can't get anyone to answer the after care number given when released. Not worth spending the $ and dealing with what I'm dealing with.

On my first call On my first call, it was the first time in my life that I heard somebody who understood my problem. Kristi, John, Maria, Rob... and of course, THE Dr. Weismann are extraordinary human beings. Thank you for treating me like a human being, not a "dirty junkie". It feels great not being sick anymore, feel productive, happy and optimistic about the future.

How this is not everywhere? ANR seems almost magical to me. Let's start with the positives: I am free from opioids. This doesn't just mean just my body is free of opioids (unlike detox and other treatments that they just wash them out). It means that I, Aya - in mind, body, and soul, am completely free from opioids. Yes, I have no cravings at all. Not even a little bit. I could go 200 years without even thinking about taking them. This is a feeling I've never experienced in my life. The negatives? Well, it is costly and requires a trip to Florida, as ANR clinics aren't widely available yet. Also, you will be extremely tired for the first 3-4 days, and you'll need to push yourself to move, eat, etc to hasten recovery. After about 4-5 days (though this can vary depending on your medical history, to my cousin it took around a week), you'll start to feel much better, blessed, healthy, and ready to take on life. A huge thank you to the ANR team - and of course, Dr. Waismann, for making this treatment available to the world.

I would shout from the rooftops if I… I would shout from the rooftops if I could to anyone and everyone who is looking to get clean from OPIATES to go to ANR. They treated me the dignity and respect that other programs failed to do. They help me realize that I am not an addict, but someone who had trauma & became physically dependent on this drug. I tried many treatment options, and nothing compares to ANR. I highly recommend that anyone go to ANR over any other treatment options.

The main thing about this treatment is… The main thing about this treatment is that you can go through the worst of the withdrawals while you're asleep and you cannot relapse after since the receptors are blocked. There are no cravings. I don’t remember a thing from the withdrawals and I didn’t feel anything which I thought was pretty amazing. It felt like sleeping through the first 7 days of withdrawal which is the worst and waking up on day 9 when its pretty much over. I recommend you few days off work since you may will feel psychically weak. Really that's about it. I had none of the typical depression symptoms associated with detoxing which I thought was amazing since those were always almost as bad as the physical symptoms for me.
