Ultram Treatment

Ultram treatment turns suburban mother in Virginia into an online addict.

Kelly, a 34-year-old mother of three from the Richmond suburb of Powhatan recovered from fused vertebrae surgery in 1988 with the help of prescribed Ultram.

Like many patients under a prescribed painkiller regime, Kelly had not intended for her Ultram treatment to drive her to a pharmaceutical dependency. Many patients start on pain relief or opiate medications:

1. to manage pain,
2. to treat emotional disorders,
3. or to enjoy recreational elation

Over 6.3 Million Americans Admitted
Non-medical Use of Prescription Drugs in 2003 (i)

Once their dependency takes over, they end up in our offices seeking medical help through rapid detoxification from the prescribed drug. They had not understood the long-term consequences of powerful dependency, addiction, and withdrawal until it was too late.

Kelly maintained her busy schedule by taking two 50 mg Ultram tablets three or four times daily (maximum dose) … until her doctor moved. Then Kelly turned to the Internet where she spent thousands of dollars per month at online pharmacies and upped her dose by a factor of ten.

She progressed to the point where dependent patients try both to maintain their stability and to avoid painful withdrawal. She relied on Ultram not to get high, but to supply enough energy to meet the demands of business and family. Her Ultram treatment escalated to such high levels that she did the unthinkable to obtain the amount of drugs her body demanded.

Kelly’s life fell apart when she started to phone in bogus prescriptions to pharmacies. Finally, she was arrested and sent to rehab.

When patients begin to self-administer an Ultram treatment in order to manage life and alleviate withdrawal, dependency has snuck in.  When illegal acts start to drive drug consumption, life-threatening addiction has taken over.

The Waismann Method of Rapid Detoxification offers a medical solution to patients dependent on Ultram, or who experience addiction to opiate medications.

The Waismann Method

The Waismann Methodsm has been a clinically proven treatment effective for a wide range of opiates including Codeine, Darvocet ®, Dilaudid ®, Heroin, Hydrocodone, Lorcet ®, Lortab ®, Methadone, MS Contin ®, Norco ®, Oxycodone, OxyContin ®, Percocet ®, Percodan ®, Stadol ®, Suboxone ® (Buprenorphine ®), Tramadol (Ultram ®), Vicodin ®, and others.

The Waismann Method maintains its leading position in treating the disease of Ultram physical dependency and sets the standard by which other treatments are measured. We are committed to changing the way the world views drug dependency. It is no longer a hidden and shameful disease of the stereotypical "drug addict," but rather a medical disease caused by a legitimate chemical imbalance.

The Waismann Method of detoxification Under Anesthesia utilizes the most advanced medical techniques available for opiate dependency. Patients are treated with the highest level of professionalism, dignity and respect.

• The procedure takes place in a full service hospital to provide the close monitoring. Patients are admitted for a complete medical evaluation the day before procedure. It is imperative that patients spend 24-48 hours in-patient so pre-medication can be properly administered to stabilize body functions which help to achieve a smooth and safe procedure.

• Patients are transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). This medically induced withdrawal is controlled and closely monitored by either Dr. Bernstein or Dr. Lowenstein, both Board Certified anesthesiologists who are nationally recognized for their expertise in the use of the Waismann Method. Upon awakening, the patient is no longer physically dependent on opiates and has no conscious awareness of experiencing the withdrawal process during the procedure.

• Patients are monitored under our care at our hospital to stabilize their mental and physical condition. Usually patients are discharged at least 24-48 hours or when authorized by our physicians.

We are proud to offer our patients the best medicine has to offer for opiate dependency…

The major difference between the Waismann Method and other medical detoxifications is the safety, comfort and success of our patients. Every patient has a different medical and dependency history, and at the Waismann we treat our patients as individuals with specific needs.

"It was humiliating,” says Ultram patient Kelly, “I lied to my husband. I spent a lot of money. I felt like I was going to die not having them."
