The General Anesthesia Assisted Opiate Detoxification (GAAOD) procedure is the patent pending rapid detoxification treatment protocol. GAAOD is a rapid detox treatment for chemical dependency on demerol, darvocet, oxycontin, percocet, vicodin, fentanyl and duragesic patch. See list of opiate drugs.
 |
The patient is placed under general anesthesia during detoxification, so the patient is comfortably asleep, experiencing no withdrawal symptoms. |
|
The potentially dangerous, even life-threatening, risks of general anesthesia are greatly reduced by limiting exposure to less than 30 minutes. |
|
All GAAOD procedures are performed at JCAHO accredited Bergen Regional Medical Center, so the best medical care is available around the clock. |
Components of the GAAOD are included in a teaching module for physicians by Abbott Laboratories. The GAAOD has been featured on a National Geographic channel special on drug addiction as well as on episodes of NBC News’ “Dateline” and CNN.
