Title: Opiate detox under anesthesia offers no increased benefits and is more dangerous
Post by: MillCreek on April 16, 2015, 01:52:49 PM: https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/anesthesia-assisted-rapid-opioid-detox/

So don't pay thousands of dollars to be put under general anesthesia and given Narcan for several hours. This method of opiate detox works no better than other methods and people have died from it.

General anesthesia... increased risks... people have died from it...

well... DUH!

Why do I think that implementing this had more to do with a business/marketing team than a medical panel? Somehow I can't see an already stressed out anesthesiologist coming up with this idea...

Why are you kicking ducks, and what does it have to do with opiate detox? ???

That's oddly satisfying in a twisted sort of way....
