GBThis is my second review This is my second review, 1 day later. Day 2 after procedure. I've never felt better. I was quite addicted and this place made me better in 12 hours. Here's the truth, the sleeping after the procedure is pretty brutal, but more than manageable, they got all the good meds and give them as needed. I'll write a review for ANR everyday I'm so grateful. Go clean yourself up. Call Cindy. You're welcome

GBGold Standard in Opioid Treatment, Yet Highly Expensive. ANR will be your last treatment, but it's incredibly expensive. They have only one center in Florida, and the total cost, including trips and flights, was around $23,000 for me. They really need to get this covered by insurance and make it available in more states. It's absurd that achieving freedom from opioids comes with such a high price tag. But – this treatment is effective, and very much so. Dr. Waismann is, without a doubt, the best in the field. (And don't get confused with The Waismann Method in California!)

GBHow this is not everywhere? ANR seems almost magical to me. Let's start with the positives: I am free from opioids. This doesn't just mean just my body is free of opioids (unlike detox and other treatments that they just wash them out). It means that I, Aya - in mind, body, and soul, am completely free from opioids. Yes, I have no cravings at all. Not even a little bit. I could go 200 years without even thinking about taking them. This is a feeling I've never experienced in my life. The negatives? Well, it is costly and requires a trip to Florida, as ANR clinics aren't widely available yet. Also, you will be extremely tired for the first 3-4 days, and you'll need to push yourself to move, eat, etc to hasten recovery. After about 4-5 days (though this can vary depending on your medical history, to my cousin it took around a week), you'll start to feel much better, blessed, healthy, and ready to take on life. A huge thank you to the ANR team - and of course, Dr. Waismann, for making this treatment available to the world.

GBFRAUD ALERT 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.

GBThe main thing about this treatment is… 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.
