About Rapid Opiate Detox

The rapid opiate detox is considered by many to be the first step on the road to recovery. It is a widely-used treatment for addiction to opiate drugs like heroin, methadone or codeine. The rapid opiate detox can cleanse harmful substances from the body by detoxification without the need for anaesthetic. A heroin detox can be completed within 10 to 14 days, which sets it apart from an ultra-rapid detox, which lasts 5 days.  Find below some more FAQ about rapid opiate detox.
