ANR® Clinic - Advanced Opioid Treatment CenterReviews of anrclinic.com

After 24000 patients treated why no outcomes data? A literature review uncovered only a single published peer reviewed paper that presented simple data on BP and heart rate for less than 100 patients undergoing therapy.. The summary is that the procedure is safe and EFFECTIVE. It is unclear how effective is defined. There is no data on recidivism rates in this population of 24,000 people. If there were really any goal of making this procedure more accessible, outcome data would be clearly essential. Also not mentioned in the published paper is the specific treatments i.e., what medicines? What doses at what times? Also, a bit peculiar is on discharge, the patient is put in a hotel or an Airbnb, where they’re followed up by individuals with no medical credentials . I’m not sure the hotel is aware that a medical treatment is being monitored at their venue, seems odd. I hope this treatment is effective for the $20,000 it costs and for the suffers of opioid dependency. Far more reassuring than testimonials to those of us in the medical field would be to establish a track record in the literature of the actual therapy. It risks, side effects, benefits, what exactly makes up the pharmaceutical strategy (currently a black box, however claimed to be unique”do not mix this up with ANR in California “), and especially in the case of opioid dependency it’s long-term Efficacy. I have presented these questions to their website but have received no reply.

I used for 14 yrs, I always relapsed after a few months clean. The last 7 yrs were consecutive. I lost hope in being clean, I tried everything but always failed. I was fed up with life but by some miracle I found ANR. At first I thought it was a scam, I was wrong. What ANR does is incredible. It saved me, I’ll be 1 yr clean July 27. For the first time, I’m free. I see a couple negative reviews & it’s crazy. The few bad experiences didn’t follow directions or didn’t take time to understand how it works. You DONT wake up sick. You’ll be uncomfortable & exhausted. Your body goes through weeks of detox in hours, that’s a lot on the body. You may vomit, thats an anesthesia symptom. I threw up once & passed back out. You may be cold for a few weeks. It’s not hot/cold sweats & its not a big deal. The only part that sucks is opioids do a lot of damage to your gut. So you will have diarrhea for a bit. The first few days are the worst, I suggest getting diapers you may not be able to control it. By days 4-5 it’ll calm down but will last for a couple weeks & gets better everyday. It’s got to come out, people not understanding that & using it to slander ANR is crazy. Your sleep is the only other thing that takes a bit to fix. You’re still able to sleep it just won’t be 8 hours. This lasts 2-6 weeks depending on how much you work on what they tell you to do. I did everything they said before except work out, after I didn’t work out either but it still went very well for me. Had I worked out it would have went even better. This procedure is a miracle and it saved my life but it’s not magic, there’s still work you have to do. Its worth it. If you have questions before, ask them. They were very forthcoming with me, I knew what to expect. ANR is actually working towards curing addiction, to slander their name is sickening to me because they changed my life. I hope to one day see ANR everywhere, there’d be a lot less loved ones lost to addiction. Thank you for everything you do ANR.

I turned to opioids during an extremely sad time in my life…now, let me say this…I have always been a very strong willed/minded person… I attempted x 3 to quit on my own..unsuccessfully…I once had to narcan myself and KNEW (from the effects of the medication) it was not possible for me to quit simply with ..willpower…not that willpower isn’t needed but I just knew there HAD to be a physical aspect to addiction as well…I thank God I found the ANR treatment/clinic. No, it was not a piece of cake but I could handle it…post procedure I mean…weak, weak, weak for a good 6-8 weeks BUT I’ve yet to have the first craving since treatment 2/13/24…This IS a cure (IMHO) for (at least) opioid addiction…I don’t even take anything post procedure …I’m not having any cravings…why would I take something to help prevent cravings when I’m not having cravings in the first place..??? I don’t NEED the medication…my body physically needed the opioids and once those receptors were destroyed…it’s like clearing the slate on an ‘Etch-a-sketch’…my body needed to produce new endorphins, hence the extreme weakness…but I should add I am 59 years old too so the weakness might not have been so hard on a younger persons body…I knew sooner or later I would get a ‘tainted batch’ and I was not going to have my son find me dead at home…so I confessed to him that I was addicted to opioids and I needed help…Dr. Waisman’s treatment addresses the physical side of addiction…I credit it with saving my life…I will add that I am a nurse for 36 years now…his entire team members have a forever grateful mom…🙂

I had ANR in November 2023. It was almost 8 months ago, but it feels like thousands of years, and even then, it feels like it happened to someone else. Not because ANR changed me, but because they changed how I see myself in the mirror. After so many physicians and addiction “experts” decided that I would always be a drug addict, the ANR staff proved otherwise. And that, for me, was the best thing this treatment gave me. Of course, they took my cravings and withdrawals away for good. But this treatment also gave me life and direction. I will be forever grateful to these people.

Great staff. It really works if you lean into it.

It all started with a continuing and throbbing pain in my back and neck that was diagnosed as degenerative disc disease. I said, “All right, ok, I’m 40 years old now and I played a LOT of high contact sports, lots of banging around, ok, I guess it follows”. So, after chiropractic, acupressure, trigger point injections, hot treatment, cold treatment, stretching, deep tissue massages, this toothache-type pain persisted. I had to work so my Osteo Doctor referred me to a Pain Management Doctor who prescribed hydrocodone, which cut the pain down maybe 30% to 40% but not enough to allow me to focus on my very detailed and pressure packed job (and, yes, I DO believe that stress contributed to this situation). When I told my doctor that I wasn’t getting the relief I needed I was told about a new pain medication that was supposedly not addictive and long lasting (this was late 1990s, early 2000s). I said, “Let’s go!”. It was time released OxyContin. (Maybe some of you can relate…). Well, it worked. My pain went WAAAY down and I was able to work. The problem is that no drug comes without a cost, a side effect, a Gotcha!. This was, in fact, a highly addictive drug that, while effective, only masked the real problem. After a boating accident that injured a disc in my thoracic many years later and still needing to work I found it was easier to stay on the pain meds, at a higher dosage now because, like most drugs, a tolerance is built up requiring more. Anyway, to make a long story stop, in December of 2020 I miraculously found Dr. Waismann and made the call. They got me in right away, explained that my brain and central nervous system were not functioning properly and that I would be much better after the procedure. No withdrawals, no Cold Turkey (the absolute WORST experience, trying to stop…wow). I woke up the day after feeling weak but better. Today, at 65, I am in the shape of my life and doing great! Thank you, Dr. Waismann, I am now alive and thriving!

ANR saved my life. Here are some things you need to know: 1. Answer the phone when they call for pre-treatment calls. You will recover faster if you follow everything they say. 2. During the consultation, be honest with them. For once, you'll feel like somebody is on your side. No matter how messed up your situation is, they need to know. They've seen it all. 3. They don't want you to arrive at the day of the treatment in withdrawals, but dont take too much.I was nervous, so I stopped taking them much before admission. So don't :) 4. Again, listen to every word they say, especially what John and April tell you. They are angels and they know what they're doing. 5. You may be lucky enough to meet Dr. Waismann himself! I was fortunate to meet him briefly. From what I understood, he visits there every now and then. 6. If you can, book another day or two and stay in Florida. It's beautiful there and it will help you recover faster by traveling and moving around. 7. I know they say it will take 3-4 days to come back to normal. It will most likely take more. Prepare for a week of being tired. 8. ANR works. This is the most important thing you need to know. Because we all tried many treatments and failed. But you need to commit to this and wanting to be healthy. Good luck!
