Dr Coleman Explains Accelerated Opioid Detox using The Coleman Method

Anyone reading this, please understand that, while i do support this way to detox, it does little to none helping addiction, since you can relapse in months after evrrything is "fine". The most important is to change your life rutines, get education, get out of a toxic relationship etc. and have a support group that will keep you on the right path. Otherwise you just do a circle back to square one.

I detoxed at the Coleman institute exactly 1 month ago. I have been to numerous detox units and lots of rehabs. This was literally my BEST EXPERIENCE BY FAR!!!! The staff are amazing, they treated my like gold.

I will say this: i had to do a 4 month probation violation and had to go cold turkey as the Federal prison doesn't do suboxone, however, on the 4th month I still felt like my initial 48 hours in.. my whole incarceration was spent wishing for death. I believe suboxone and similar synthetic opioids are like boutique heroine, (which I've never done) its a much longer bind and pathway to the receptor. Having gone cold turkey off Methadone, liquid morphine, (Roxinol) oxy's etc, suboxone was by far the worst and I've spoken to former heroine addicts who agree wholeheartedly. - Surry Virginia

I've been on methadone for over ten years and it has been a Godsend, my life has went from being a homeless heroin addict to having my own place and supporting myself. Early in my recovery I was booted off of this one MMT clinic for not being able to afford it. This is while I was still homeless. The clinic had this horrible procedure called the 21 day detox for people who couldn't pay their monthly dues. I was expected to successfully taper off of 120mgs of methadone in 21 days but they messed up and didn't start the taper until the 5th day so I had 16 days to do this (I didn't know cause during this "detox" they blind dose you so you don't know what dose you're at). In short, it absolutely did not work, I proceeded to go through the most agonizing experience of my life. The full withdrawal felt like it hit while I was still tapering and continued to get worse each day for the next month and a half, mind you I was homeless and completely broke so even if I wanted to relapse I couldn't, but I truly tried as hard as I could to tough it out and after about 45 days of being in hell I was able to get some heroin. The scariest part about this and the reason I wanted to share this here is because I always heard that withdrawal with short acting opiates takes 3 to 7 days, longer acting ones like methadone would be longer, like double that, so 2 weeks... after 45 days I felt a hundred times worse than the first week off the clinic. It wasn't the withdrawal that's "like the flu" you always hear about, it wasn't anything like being dope sick from heroin. It was torture. Nowadays I'm doing great, but there's the constant thought in the back of my head, what if I somehow lose my meds or get booted off the program. I only have to go once a month, my life is normal for the most part. But what if I lose my methadone.. it's a terrifying thought.

I used the Coleman Institute to detox from ten years of Suboxone use in 2019 and have stayed clean since. They were truly amazing and so compassionate. I’m grateful to have found them because getting through the detox on my own wasn’t something I could manage. The real work is after the detox though because that’s when you have to focus on the psychological and spiritual aspects of healing.

This place is freaking amazing. I was on a crazy train of opiates and COULD NOT STOP. I tried so many times. By the grace of god I found this place. The staff, the treatment, the procedure was unbelievable. You’re still going to have to pay the piper and do some work but it’s unbelievable and I am over 90 days clean. I’m just climbing up over the mountain. I cannot thank the Coleman institute enough. 🙏

So until I have 100% knowledge of how some of these medical doctors can treat opioid addiction without any pain or suffering…. I will just keep watching and understanding more and more that nobody knows what the hell and how to treat it

There are some patients who have great difficulty adjusting to a lower opioid dose. They experience withdrawal continuously for much longer periods than expected. One patient used Buprenorphine Hydrochloride to detox to zero then remained bedridden in withdrawal for five months without improvement. He restarted opioids and became productive and maintained a stable dosage for eleven years. A forced taper to 40% of dosage eight years ago resulted in the same bedridden existence with withdrawal symptoms persisting to April of 2022 and beyond. Low IGF-1 indicating a possibility of low growth hormone has been the only abnormality that may offer treatment suggestions however no connection has been found with how Opioid receptors reset. I have found four examples and all four developed chronic pain following a traumatic brain injury that was from a back of head deceleration. The pituitary stalk does not appear well equipped for these types of impact events.

It worked for me. Been off methadone for a year and a half

this video needs a LOT more views and attention. I wouldn't recommend staying on naltrexon or suboxone person experience I'll admit i went in to psychosis and i'll probably never be able to fully get clean. As addicts we know we are powerless and are hard on ourselves. Without a higher power of some sort or a strong support system there won't be much success because without a plan you'll end up right back where you were. I've gotten completely clean a few times and within a month it's like I blink and boom I'm thinking about suboxone. Rationalizing the fact it's to "get you off" of opiates and maintanence etc. Yup.

I’ve been here twice. I’m going back for my 3rd time on the 11th this month. It is the ONLY way I could get clean, and it’s the reason I was able to have kids, and gave me 6 months of clean time. Im hoping this is my last time going. If you have any questions you can ask me.

Methadone on lower doses have been the only thing thats worked for me!!! And a little bit of willingness

Why the hell isn't this EVERYWHERE????

Since 2002.. dude thats almost 6500 days... thats almost 1 patient a day... that's pretty stellar.

I just went through the Coleman Institute Accelerated Opiate Detox program. AMA

Detox is a misnomer. The opioid addiction recovery process has nothing to do with some sort of toxicity level and everything to do with regaining a natural equilibrium. Your brain your nervous system and endocrine system have all been altered to where they have to be re educated on how to function without the opioids. Prolonged opioid exposure profoundly alters these systems rendering them almost inoperable without some sort chemical assistance. These systems regulate pretty much every body function as well as mental stability. It's not even a healing process which the body is familiar with. It's far more complex. Good luck to all those who try this but never get discouraged to the point of giving up. It could take much longer than anticipated and it's sad society does not want to accept this.

7-10 days...I WISH that's all it took. The very first time I ever tried to quit, I was 19 years old. I had been doing about 60mg of Oxycontin every day for a month and a half, and prior to that I had been using 20-30 mg or so every weekend for three months. I had two weeks off from school for winter break, so I figured, what better time to quit? How hard could it be? I'm not using needles, I'm not injecting heroin, it can't be that difficult! Oh boy...two weeks later, I still couldn't brush my teeth, I was in so much pain and agony. Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't function at all. And on the Sunday before I was due to go back to school, I just couldn't take it anymore. And on that day, that was the very first day I tried heroin.

I'm in Canada. Trying to get off Suboxone currently. I was on methadone for years but Ina small dose. I went from 85 mg to 10 MG's then switched to Suboxone. I'm at 4 mg buy can get away with 3 a day. I need to get off off off for good. CBD help a little bit. I also use peptides like Ipomorelin. I have also been on TRT through my treatment and that's another subject for another time.

What about an induced coma for 10-14 days? Let the body detox naturally but the patient can be unconscious the whole time? I understand that would be expensive and would probably need ICU level care, but wouldn’t that be the safest and least uncomfortable way for patients instead of the ultra rapid detox and the Coleman Method where you are still introducing “comfort drugs”? So instead of using other drugs and naltrexone to force detox and then giving comfort meds, just let the body do it slowly over that time naturally and keep the patient induced in a coma and when they wake up they shouldn’t be in any withdrawals and Vivitrol or naltrexone can be used to prevent relapse at that point.

Já si vždycky sedám na židli Coleman a u toho si to píchám!! Colemanova reversní metoda jak si dát, "na Colemana" :D
