The ANR method
The ANR Method treats opiate dependency at the receptors level. The cleansing and blocking of the opioid receptors precipitates the withdrawal syndrome, which is controlled using medications, including anaesthetics that allow withdrawal to occur while the patient is unconscious.
The treatment is performed by Dr. Waismann and his experienced, dedicated ANR staff. Our team of senior anaesthesiologists and ICU nurses are specifically trained for ANR and have successfully treated thousands of patients from around the world.
Step by step
Every patient is accompanied directly from the airport straight to the Dr. Waismann clinic. Here they are assessed and provided medication by the doctor to allow them a comfortable and calm pre-hospitalisation.
Morning:
Patients are hospitalised in our ANR unit at the Barzilai Hospital. They undergo laboratory screening and clinical examination before being medicated to allow a comfortable induction into the
sedation stage.
Noon:
Gradual
sedation stage: patients are induced and brought into a deep sleep
stage for a period of 3 to 4 hours. During this period, opioid
receptors will be blocked and the withdrawal syndrome will occur.
Patients will be kept asleep and are constantly monitored and assisted throughout
the procedure.
Evening / Night:
Patients awake from the sedation and are assisted through the night.
Morning after / Recovery period:
Early
in the morning, we begin the post-ANR Naltrexone treatment; a daily
regimen of Naltrexone will be followed thereafter. Patients are encouraged to eat and drink, slowly returning to general physical
activities. Typically, they are discharged back to the hotel at noontime.
Upon discharge, patients are no longer dependent, the withdrawal syndrome is over, and the Naltrexone regimen has begun.
Naltrexone medication will keep the opioid receptors blocked and cravings will become irrelevant. Patient will return to healthy and productive lives. The length of the post-ANR Naltrexone treatment will be established solely by Dr. Waismann according to the specific needs of each patient.
Every patient receives the treatment under the personal supervision of Dr. A. Waismann.
