How does rapid detox work?
Our method of rapid detox is only performed in an Intensive Care Unit in a accredited full service hospital. For each patient we develop a detoxification plan. The patient is admitted to the hospital 24 to 48 hours before the procedure. Once the procedure is complete, the patient is kept in the ICU for another 24 hours. Our fully trained staff continuously monitors the patient to ensure heart rate, blood pressure and other physical changes remain at a healthy and expected level. The procedure itself is only performed by Board Certified Anesthesiologists in the intensive care unit of an accredited hospital. Currently the procedure is only performed at Pacific Hospital of Long Beach a full-service teaching hospital.
