Safest Rapid Detox Program - Florida Detox & Wellness Institute

Safety should be your primary concern when choosing any detox program, especially a rapid detox program. Heart Surgeons from Kansas City recently chose Dr. Sponaugle and the Florida Detox team to perform rapid detox on their heart transplant patient after they researched every detox program in America. Their ICU nurse and heart transplant patient, Sarah,  had a severe Oxycontin addiction of 3,200 mgs a day. The University of Kansas surgeons knew they needed the safest Oxycontin detox program in America for their transplant patient.

You must choose your detox program carefully, there are several dangerous rapid detox programs currently operating in America. Dr. Sponaugle used his cardiac/intensive care skills to design the safest detox  in America, rapid or traditional. Doctors and Universities from throughout the world including China have sought training from Dr. Sponaugle for this technique. Choose wisely, choose like a heart surgeon, choose Dr. Sponaugle and the Florida Detox team for your detox.

The majority of the drug detox centers and the alcohol treatment centers in America are run by medical directors who have little, if any, specialty training in cardiac care or intensive care medicine. These doctors lack the expertise needed to prevent all of the dangerous adrenaline surges that normally occur during Oxycontin detox and alcohol detoxification.

Dr. Sponaugle originally designed his protocol for Rapid Detox using a computerized ultrasonic heart monitor called TEE, trans- esophageal echocardiography. This high tech monitor continuously measures the pumping function of the heart and the arterial resistance the heart pumps against. During other detox techniques, surging adrenaline squeezes the arteries, “much like tightening the hose nozzle.” This increases the resistance work load of the heart, the heart must work harder to pump blood through the narrowed arteries – this has caused heart attacks in other detox centers.

Dr. Sponaugle used the high tech TEE monitor to guide his adjustment of adrenaline blocking medicine that prevents all detox stress on the heart. This medicine is administered intravenously when Dr. Sponaugle removes the opiate pain medication from your opiate receptors. The Sponaugle rapid detox protocol protects the heart and the brain from any withdrawal induced changes in blood flow - this technique is the perfect technique for any patient with questionable cardiac disease.

Dr. Sponaugle’s detox technique also prevents excessive electrical current and mini-seizures in the brain, mini-seizures that occur for days and weeks in other detox centers. These mini-seizures go unnoticed by addiction doctors in other detox centers even though it has been proven that they actually kill brain cells. This causes an earlier onset of memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease.

Addicted patients have already suffered excessive loss of brain cells from the damaging effect of their drugs, the last thing they need is a detox technique that kills more brain cells. Addiction doctors at nationally recognized treatment centers have always accepted painful and dangerous withdrawal symptoms as a normal and unavoidable consequence of addiction. Because they are lacking in cardiac/intensive care expertise, they don’t know how to prevent these dangerous withdrawal symptoms.

Many addiction doctors in America are ‘recovering alcoholics or addicts’. During their personal detox experience, they were taught the myth that, “the more you suffer, the less chance you will relapse”.  This outdated philosophy is not only demoralizing to suffering patients, it places patients at risk for heart attack and brain damage.

During withdrawal, unchecked surges of adrenaline (norepinephrine) squeeze the coronary arteries and the blood vessels to the brain. This produces dangerously high blood pressure, a racing heart and decreases vital blood flow to the brain. Even young twenty year old patients have died in Florida jails while detoxing from methadone. These unnecessary deaths were caused because of ignorance and prejudice.

Recent PET scan, brain [volumetric] studies fro the University of Toronto have revealed that traditional detox techniques produce so much excessive electrical current in the brain that brain cells are destroyed throughout the detox.  Why have addiction doctors allowed detox patients to suffer nerve tremors and mini-seizures from excess electrical current?

Twitching and tremors are not nor have they ever been allowed in non-addicted patients undergoing treatment for any other medical disorder. Patients are treated immediately with medication to “cool off” the electrical system for concern the patient will develop a seizure. The ongoing excessive electricity that is flowing through the brain of a detox patient is revealed through tremors, twitching and muscle spasms. Why have addiction doctors at other detox centers assumed that allowing patients to suffer days of twitching is a safe practice? Prejudice against addicted patients and a lack of knowledge regarding brain physiology.

At Florida Detox, Dr. Sponaugle does not allow any twitching in his patients, you will not have one twitch while you detox from drugs or alcohol. Your heart and brain will not suffer any undue stress as they will at other detox centers. Your heart rate and blood pressure will not change during your detox from your normal levels. This is why patients from Europe and Asia travel all the way to Florida for Dr. Sponaugle’s safe detox program.
