GBANR 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!

GBI would not recommend this treatment to… I would not recommend this treatment to anyone. Living with someone with addiction is very hard but dealing with my husband after doing this procedures has been and is a nightmare. You do not get after care as they say. You actually can't get anyone to answer the after care number given when released. Not worth spending the $ and dealing with what I'm dealing with.

ILIf you can come up with that kind of… If you can come up with that kind of money, ANR is by far your best option. Simply because this treatment is really effective. Other 'treatments' that give you methadone, Suboxone, or let you throw up on the floor for two weeks and then send you back home with more withdrawals and cravings, consider themselves treatments too. This is how crazy this world is. ANR truly heals your dependency. You won't remember the treatment and will wake up with no withdrawals, just feeling fatigued, like you ran for 10 hours. But it's bearable. You'll sleep until the morning, and it will get better and better. You gonna be discharged the same day, I left around noon. You will still be tired but won't feel the hunger, the cravings, the desire – it's gone. Whats left is optimizing your system to recover faster. You'll meet an angel named John who will help you and check on you until you fly back. Then Cindy and April, also sweet and very nice, will continue to stay in touch with you. Everybody at ANR was so nice and went above and beyond. Good luck!!!

GBWould 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.

ILGod bless you all Last month, I traveled to Florida for treatment. ANR was my final attempt after numerous failed efforts. Despite trying various treatments, I consistently relapsed, as my urge to use was always stronger than my desire to be healthy and free from medication. As a pain patient, I felt let down by my doctor who left me in a difficult situation, cutting off my opioid prescription without offering any guidance on managing my addiction. ANR not only treated me but also restored my hope. They treated me with respect and understanding, seeing me as a patient rather than a problematic individual who needed to change their personality to fit back into society. God bless you all.
