Dr Waismann's Profile

Dr. Waismann has been the world leader in the field of reversing opiate dependency since 1994.

He established the world’s first treatment center where opiate dependent patients are treated for their dependency with advanced medicine. In addition, the symptoms (withdrawal and cravings) are treated as a medical illness by qualified medical personnel including anesthetists and ICU (Intensive Care Unit) nurses. 

Treatment is provided at a modern, general hospital in an effective and safe manner.

Initially, in 1993 he developed a new approach with a technique called UROD (Ultra Rapid Opiate Detoxification).

Dr. Waismann traveled the world to lecture, teach and introduce his revolutionary method which utilized Naltrexone (an opiate antagonist) and anesthesia. Soon after, variations of the method appeared at medical facilities worldwide.

By 1997 Dr. Waismann had treated thousands of patients in his clinic and the experience gathered allowed him to refine his technique, replacing the old Rapid Detox with his new procedure called Accelerated Neuroregulation or ANR.

Using the new advanced ANR treatment, the Waismann Clinic Team provides every patient with an individual treatment, according to their specific drug-dependency and medical history.

ANR efficiently cleanses the receptors reducing withdrawal syndrome to a period of hours instead of days. This happens while the patient is unconscious. The amount of receptor blockage required depends the level of dependency of each patient. This brings cravings to irrelevant levels when patients regain consciousness.

Patients are successfully treated for dependency on prescription opiate medications such as Methadone, Suboxone (Subutex), Vicodin®, Percocet®, Codeine, Oxycontin® and others.

Despite the fact that several clinics market various types of Rapid Detox treatments, Dr. Waismann performs the ANR procedure only at the Dr. Waismann Clinic in Israel, At the Barzilay Governmental Hospital.
