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

This procedure changed my life and pretty much transformed me into a new person. This is the fastest, most painless way to come off opioids. The best part about this method is that the opioid receptors are BLOCKED after the treatment, so you can’t relapse. I decided to do the procedure after reading what the website said, but not reading anyone’s experience so I had no idea what to expect; hopefully, this review will help others hear from a PATIENT WHO HAS ACTUALLY GONE THRU IT, and not just bs. When I arrived at the hospital, I was greeted by Dr. Kabamba who is very nice. I was put under anesthesia and the procedure began and honestly, I could not feel a thing from the withdrawals or remember anything past that point. I just remember waking up in the middle of the night needing to pee, and the nurses bringing me some medication to go back to sleep, then waking up the next day feeling VERY weak. I have detoxed many different times and using every method possible like cold turkey, suboxone, tapering dose, using medical marijuana and of course rapid detox. ANR was by far the easiest process I have ever experienced if you would even really call it that. The whole attraction of the procedure is to get through the withdrawals QUICKLY and as PAINLESS as possible, and establish a pre-dependency chemical state, and it WORKED! Last time I tried to detox at home I was so sick for literally an entire month; no exaggeration. After a month of suffering and cravings, one night I relapsed and ended up right back to where I started. Since this amazing experience at ANR Clinic i decided I wanted to help others who struggle with getting clean and make this review. Hopefully this will help someone out there who is struggling with the grips of addiction. I hope by sharing my experience I help others become free from the misery of opioid addiction as I did.

On my first call, it was the first time in my life that I heard somebody who understood my problem. Kristi, John, Maria, Rob... and of course, THE Dr. Weismann are extraordinary human beings. Thank you for treating me like a human being, not a "dirty junkie". It feels great not being sick anymore, feel productive, happy and optimistic about the future.

The main thing about this treatment is that you can go through the worst of the withdrawals while you're asleep and you cannot relapse after since the receptors are blocked. There are no cravings. I don’t remember a thing from the withdrawals and I didn’t feel anything which I thought was pretty amazing. It felt like sleeping through the first 7 days of withdrawal which is the worst and waking up on day 9 when its pretty much over. I recommend you few days off work since you may will feel psychically weak. Really that's about it. I had none of the typical depression symptoms associated with detoxing which I thought was amazing since those were always almost as bad as the physical symptoms for me.

This place is the absolute best! If you want to really stop using opioids, but are afraid of the withdrawal, ANR has has the answer. With their method you will have NO withdrawal suffering. I have been through ANR’s procedure and in 29 hours I was free of opioids with no withdrawal! I was injecting many times daily and took my last shot at ANR before going inside fearful, that I would go into withdrawal. Turns out I had nothing to fear. They quickly performed their procedure on me and I never had any withdrawal, cravings, or desire for opioids again! If you want to be free of opioids call ANR.

After nearly a decade of Oxycodone addiction, and trying every method to quit, I finally decided to go to the Waismann clinic and do the procedure which they say returns the patient to a pre-addiction state. At first I was a bit nervous as I had never heard of this type of treatment before but after many failed attempts to quit I knew it had to be done and my appointment was set a few weeks later. Its been about 4 months now since the procedure and honestly I don't remember much, I was asleep the whole time during the withdrawals so at least that was over with but I felt very very tired for a few days and had to call off work. Overall it was much easier than quitting cold turkey or trying kratom or methadone so at least now I am restored to normal. The craving for the oxycodone has also gone down and I havent had any desire to use opioids since the treatment. The hospital staff was very nice and accommodating and the whole experience was not too bad; just quite a bit of money but its totally worth it and I would recommend this to anyone struggling with addiction.

FRAUD ALERT: ANR's claim of returning the brain to its pre-addiction state is pure fiction. The ANR Method absolutely, definitively does not return the brain to its pre-addiction state. It's an Ultra-Rapid Detox, nothing more. If you want to see reviews that aren't fake, go to TrustPilot. Since undergoing treatment in May, I've experienced five months of pure hell from post acute withdrawal symptoms. They use a really crappy, dirty old hospital out in rural Florida, awful place. Horrid doctor- Kabemba was pleasant enough prior to the procedure, but in the months since he has been hostile, defensive, rude and condescending. Non-existent aftercare- the 'nurses' are worthless if you need anything beyond a monthly Naltrexone refill. To date I've spent an additional $13,000 out of pocket on NAD+ liquid subQ injectable solution, to manage the withdrawals and cravings they assured me I wouldn't experience. If you are considering ultra-rapid detox, go literally anywhere else. I am in the process of filing a lawsuit against ANR, along with complaints to the DOJ, the Florida AG's office, the HHS, HHS-OIG, and the FTC. The basis of my lawsuit isn't that the procedure didn't work. It didn't- but that's beside the point. ANR makes demonstrably false claims on their website- claims that can easily be disproven by simply asking very specific questions and demanding very specific answers. ANR's claims of magically restoring the brain to its pre-addiction state are demonstrably, provably false. ANR's treatment is nothing more than an ultra-rapid detox that differs in no significant way from any other URD under IV sedation. They all use the same medications and methods. They detox you under IV sedation, then put you on oral Naltrexone for a year to manage physical cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Ask yourself one simple question: if the ANR treatment completely heals the brain, returning it to the 'pre-addiction state', then why put patients on Naltrexone for a year? Naltrexone manages cravings and withdrawal symptoms. If your brain is fully restored and healed by the treatment, then why would you need Naltrexone for a year? I'll tell you why. The treatment does not restore the brain to it's pre-addiction state. Full stop. Their claims are complete fiction. Don't take my word for it. Ask them to tell you specifically what medication they use to remove excess endorphin receptors and jump-start the brain's endorphin production. Ask them to tell the name of the specific medication they use in their IV sedation that isn't used by every other URD on the planet. You won't get an answer because there is no difference between the "ANR Method" and every other ultra-rapid detox on the planet. There is no 'miracle cure' of the brain. It's hogwash. ANR's "Method" is an ultra-rapid detox that does NOTHING to bypass post acute withdrawal syndrome. Remember the expression "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, then baffle them with bullsh*t"? Well, that's what ANR's website does. There's a lot of very scientific language describing the problem and promising a 'miracle cure'... but they never specifically state what medication they use that miraculously cures the brain and restores it to its pre-addiction state. The website does not specifically mention what medication is used to magically cure your brain from years of opioid abuse, because it doesn't. Full stop. It's a complete scam. If you pin them down for details on how they differ from other URDs, they'll tell you they use lighter sedation and pull the patient out before the patient is 'overblocked'. While there may be some short-term benefit to that, it doesn't do anything to remove excess endorphin receptors or kickstart the brain's natural endorphin production. It does nothing to prevent post acute withdrawal symptoms. Post-Script: ANR's response to my review was to claim that if they were a scam, they wouldn't have treated 25K patients. Hello... how many people did Bernie Madoff scam before he was held to account? Their reply suggests that any patient who experiences post-procedure PAWS is at fault for not complying with instructions. In my case- they know better. They have my records. I followed instructions to the T and went over/above on exercise and eating right. I was in hell for months post-procedure and couldn't even get a call from Andre Waissmann. Dr. Kabemba called one time, and was rude and defensive and offered no assistance at all. ANR's claims are fraudulent and their treatment is profit-centered. Once they get a patient's money and put them through the procedure, the patient is literally on their own.

I have mixed feelings about ANR. On the positive, I was told I would no longer crave opioids after the treatment. Its been almost a month since my procedure and the total absence of physical and psychological cravings is noteworthy! I'd tried many times before to stay clean on suboxone but the cravings would become too much and I'd relapse. ANR works like a miracle in that sense, my mind is clear and opioids pose no attraction. However, the total lack of aftercare is annoying. I wish it felt like they cared how Im doing. Also, I feel they glaze over what to expect afterwards, making the process seem so sterile and easy. I suffered a co-occurring disorder, like so many people do. Which perhaps is why I had a major mental breakdown after my treatment, just on the knowledge that my crutch was actually gone and not coming back. I'd used drugs to self medicate for so long that the experience of being fully anesthetized one day, to completely clean the next was entirely overwhelming! No one prepared me (or my mom who chaperoned) for the potential of a mental health episode immediately post treatment. Like what I suffered to the extent I had to have a second chaperone fly in from CA & stay 2 extra nights in FL. They dont screen for co-occuring disorders whatsoever and I feel thats irresponsible. But even had I known it could happen, or the myriad of other undesirable side-effects I experienced, such as 5 days in diapers due to fecal incontinence, I still WOULD have done the treatment. ANR, you dont need to make it seem better than it is. It's seriously so good, why not provide clients with a comprehensive understanding of the possible acute reactions? It would only serve to make a groundbreaking treatment even better. I dont mean to sound ungrateful, there's no denying that ANR gave me a several month head start at recovery. Left to detox on my own, without replacement, there's no doubt in my mind that I'd have been arrested or institutionalized within a couple days.

I'm not sure if I will be here today without this. ANR saved my life, I was in a point where I had to make a decision; this treatment was expensive. 19,000 is an enormous amount. But because I thought my life was worth more than that, I came up with the money. I am feeling so positive about the future, i'm optimistic and healthy.
