ANR saved my life ANR saved my life, plain and simple. I will give this procedure and their staff, including the doctors, nurses, receptionists and follow up patient advocate a 5 star review undoubtedly. I would recommend this procedure to anyone struggling with opioid dependency/addiction. My addiction developed after being prescribed copious amounts of narcotics by a pain management doctor from 2 illnesses I suffered. After mixing my prescription with non prescribed opioids and alcohol I overdosed and came to the reality that it was time to get help. Researching online for an alternate option to a 30 day or longer rehab or the option of a 5-7 day detox led me to ANR which seemed like the perfect fit for me. They were informative and professional which made me comforted throughout the process. The procedure went exactly as planned and I woke up without withdrawal symptoms or cravings. It sounds too good to be true but it's not!! I'm still continuing in my path of recovery and have developed a greater appreciation for my life and my family. My biggest take away is to live my life with gratitude. I'm continuously and forever grateful. Thank you Lori, Casey, Maria, Cindy, Brooke, Reana, Robert, Brandon, Olga, Ben, John and Dr. Waismann. I don't know where I would be without all of you!

Gold 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!)

On my first call 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.

Would highly recommend, despite some room for improvement. 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.

The 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.
