Today, I have been clean for 15 years and 8 months…

I underwent the Waismann Method starting on 2004. I was ready to stop and I was deathly afraid of going through the horror of opiate withdrawal. My use ramped up until the day I flew in from Kentucky and entered your program at Orange County Hospital. Although the after-effects of having my receptor sites washed with Naltrexone were no picnic, it was clearly zero withdrawal. Gaining energy and clarity took some time, but I was able to resume work and pretty functional the following week. It just exhausted me. I immediately enrolled in an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and had access to a great, methodical and kind therapist that was provided by you as a part of your aftercare program. I received a prescription for a few naltrexone and still have one in a matchbox and never had to use them. I am extremely happy and at peace. My faltering business has grown to a level I never imagined. My relationship with my wife and son are great. I spend a large amount of time volunteering in different areas of the recovery process. I am appointed to oversee long term rehab facilities that are a major step toward fighting the gigantic opiate/fentanyl epidemic. I can’t say that Waismann was the reason I was successful, but I will absolutely say that there is not a more humane method to detoxing than the Waismann method. I would recommend your method 100% to anyone that seriously wants to quit. Relapse doesn’t depend on the method of detox, but opiate withdrawal doesn’t have to be the most excruciating experience I can imagine. I’ve done it several times and the fear of it kept me using for years. Feel free to utilize any part of this letter that you like. I will happily be a reference for anyone I can help with. I am loaded with appreciation. Today, I have been clean for 15 years and 8 months. My guess is I’ll be clean all day again today.
