ANR® Clinic - Advanced Opioid Treatment Center Anmeldelser 

Friendly before and at check in. Problem is everyone is treated the same. Tried to explain underlying health condition but they assume the only problem is chemical dependency causing all the issues. After treatment forget trying to get ahold if one has any issues. If someone calls you back its the same story, give it a few more days. Its a tiny town where hospital is and only a couple choices for hotels and they know why your there for the stay! Watch your stuff! Horribly expensive bad experience!

ANR is a miracle after 19 years using no withdrawal no cravings. This is the first time my brain feels like it's never done drugs if anyone wants to question this program the only problem they truly have is they were not ready to get clean and we love to blame someone else that's what addicts do

It sounds like a dream come true that is of course if you have money to do it I would do anything to be able to get this kind of help but there's no way I can come up with that kind of money that's life though something as awesome as this can only be for the rich but I won't give up hope that one day I might be able to get this so I can see how life is without being a slave to drugs I've been an addict as far back as I can remember im 32 now I'm going to continue to pray and try to save so one day I can get this treatment

I had to get on here and leave a review after seeing the very few negative's or 1 star reviews and confusing ANR with another place in CA and then some that did not even take the treatment giving reviews of 1 star which should not be allowed. But I wanted to leave my "10" star review and I HAVE BEEN A PATIENT and it 100% works. I want start by giving a huge thank you to ANR for setting me free. So 15 years I have been using. 5 years on Oxygen Pain pills and Fentanyl patches and 10 years on Suboxone. I could never had gotten off the Suboxone if it was not for ANR and Dr. Waismann. I was down in Naples, FL on Feb 22nd and Feb 23rd 2020 and from what Dr Waismann said, I was under for nearly 8 hours before my receptors were clean and I was ready to be woke up. So there is no way I could have ever done it on my own and I owe my life to ANR. I am doing great over 4 years later. Absolutely NO craving and ZERO desire to take any pills at all when I walked out. Now this being said, I felt like I was ran over by a truck for a couple days and for a couple months had no energy BUT I was off all the Suboxone. Now of course it was going to take some time to get back to feeling 100% normal energy levels since I abused my body for over 15 years so that is on me BUT this treatment was a God send and 100% LEGIT. Also a huge thank you to my wife for taking care of me for a couple days until we were ready to get back on the plane and head home. So thank you again ANR. My family and I are in a huge debt to ANR, Dr. Waismann and staff.

This treatment completely changed my life in ways I could imagine. Not having to deal with physical pain or depression from a standard detox lit fire in me Id never had. It's not like I didn't work for it but knowing that I was free from the endless cycle of opiates only made me want to become the best version of myself. My ex wife has the same treatment but I would highly recommend that if your a poly substance user to stop the other junk before going in. She has still not used opiates but her mind was not ready to be clean off meth. I'm 10 1/2 months off fentanyl and I feel like I never was addicted in the first place. I feel like I'm 25 years old again. Thank you to the ANR team, I will forever be grateful for what you have brought the the United States. It gives you the best possible chance to getting back to the original you. Thsnks again.

This is the Weismann Method? If so, I did it in California for a large sum of money and it was the worst withdrawal nightmare of my life. It should be OUTLAWED for methadone patients. I tapered from almost 200 mg down to 40 mg in two years and was only on 20 just before I flew to California for the procedure. I woke up during the sedation period writhing in pain, having liquid diarrhea, and nearly seizing. My stomach was so sore due to trying to lift up out of my four point restraints (as I kept yanking my IV out). That was only the beginning of the year long nightmare. I wasn’t a hard core addict before or after methadone. I was put on it after I was diagnosed with extremely painful autoimmune disease and i rapidly metabolize opioids and didn’t want to have to take 20 lortab per day. My disease went into remission and the methadone was unbearable. I thought it was a miracle when I saw a documentary for this method. Ha. After the procedure I was so ill from severe withdrawals that I couldn’t fly home. Not even on the benzo they prescribed. I had to stay at Domus for another grand per night until I could fly. It was horrible. I got home and remained in withdrawals for months. I finally had to go on suboxone after all of that. Several years later I weaned off on my own, but I was so sick that I was 99 lbs it’s not meant for such a long acting opioid, especially methadone.

It was incredible. When they explained how opiates trigger our brains to grow more receptors than our natural endorphins can feed I realized why I continued feeling horrible after a week of detox. Then I read on ANR website this was a cure. I was as skeptical as any person would be because I had never heard there was a cure. Just drug replacement with that garbage Suboxone which is harder to get off of than the short acting pain pills I was prescribed. Not one time from the moment I arrived to now (5 weeks later) not one time have I felt any withdrawal or any urge to take any opiate at all. You’re asleep through the painful withdrawal as they flush all opiates from your system. You stay overnight and can go home the next day. The only difficulty I had - which they already explained was gonna be challenging - was that first week. Your body just went through a lot and you’ll be sleeping quite a bit. No suffering from withdrawal or anything like that. I was so wiped out like I imagine the people climbing Mount Everest must feel like after returning to base camp. Each day that first week ANR staff come to your hotel to check on you and give you a pep talk to reassure you this wiped out feeling is normal and after 5-7 days you’ll be able to resume your life withdrawal free craving free. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the incredible ANR staff. Every single person I dealt with from administration to medical staff were the most kind, reassuring, and go above and beyond. I can’t emphasize that point enough. I hate hospitals and usually not very fond of the doctors and nurses employed in most hospitals. Had I not been so weak upon leaving the following day I would have hugged every single doctor and nurse there. They are amazing. My biggest regret was not being able to meet Dr Waismann so I could of course give him a hug and say thank you for providing a cure. To close I want to say that this treatment is absolutely a cure to opiate addiction. It’s very clear to me now that big Pharma owns and fully controls our elected representatives. If they all were not so corrupt there would be an ANR facility in place of every single suboxone/methadone clinic in the United States. Every single elected official that says they want to help with opiate addiction by enabling these poison clinics to multiply enriching the corrupt pharmaceutical industry. All the while Americans continue suffering with addiction when there is absolutely a cure but that would eliminate a lifetime of sales for opiates, suboxone, methadone and we all know that is nothing but drug replacement. Our elected officials are either unaware of ANR’s CURE or what I suspect, corrupt liars. The most sickening part is that insurance will cover a lifetime of suboxone prescriptions and office visits. Insurance will not ‘currently’ cover ANR’s cure. They consider it an elective procedure that must be paid out of pocket by us. It may sound expensive but the way I feel today it was worth every penny and looking back I shoulda left a tip too it was so very worth it!!! When you’re too tired to keep fighting a fight few ever win call ANR. They’ll even connect you with a prior patient like me where you can ask every question that only a person who has experienced the misery of opiate addiction can answer. That conversation I had with the prior ANR patient was the moment I knew this was real.

Best decision I’ve ever made 💯 71 days ago

What made my experience great with ANR That I wasn't judged by being having this Opiate dependency. They made me feel very comfortable.Walked us through the procedure Told us everything that was gonna happen.Step-by-step.
And do you had this team whole team just for you to watch him?Monetto, make sure that everything went well and always had emergency services on hand as needed.Also it made it a great Experience is that even Before the procedure I would get a call weekly from April from the clinic in tampa What Colin and make sure that I'm taking my vitamins and doing what I'm supposed to be doing before the procedure.So, that made it feel very comfortable the day of the procedure.Yes , I can say it was a little anxious , but the whole team's all the teams there anesthesiologists , doctor Kaebamna,Cindy, and john and I remember only one of my nurses Teresa, she was great... I was having a little bit more trouble recovering from this treatment.But at least the doctors and staff at the clinic give us their numbers and to hold us to call Then if we needed anything or there was an Medical emergency and any time we needed them They got back to a super quick And john my follow up kindred staff from The clinic came to my room for 3 days straight sat down and counseled me . ANR continues to contact me and check up on me, it's like having a secondary primary doctor but just for this.. ANR is amazing .. Thank you to all the staff nurses and doctors and especially Dr Waismann for bringing this cure to us..

Just completed another follow-up meeting and I am still amazed, how good I feel, free from opioids... Zero cravings. ZERO. I don't think about it and I don't about care about it. Thank you ANR from freeing me.

ANR works. I don't know about other patients, but I couldn't get back to my job until 5-6 days after the treatment. I was very tired and lacked energy. They fix your endorphin system, and it takes time to feel 100%, sometimes even a few weeks. Don't try other treatments. I tried everything—rehabs, rapid detox, even Ibogaine—but in the end, I did ANR because I was too miserable. Detox is not enough.

After 24000 patients treated why no outcomes data? A literature review uncovered only a single published peer reviewed paper that presented simple data on BP and heart rate for less than 100 patients undergoing therapy.. The summary is that the procedure is safe and EFFECTIVE. It is unclear how effective is defined. There is no data on recidivism rates in this population of 24,000 people. If there were really any goal of making this procedure more accessible, outcome data would be clearly essential. Also not mentioned in the published paper is the specific treatments i.e., what medicines? What doses at what times? Also, a bit peculiar is on discharge, the patient is put in a hotel or an Airbnb, where they’re followed up by individuals with no medical credentials . I’m not sure the hotel is aware that a medical treatment is being monitored at their venue, seems odd.
I hope this treatment is effective for the $20,000 it costs and for the suffers of opioid dependency. Far more reassuring than testimonials to those of us in the medical field would be to establish a track record in the literature of the actual therapy. It risks, side effects, benefits, what exactly makes up the pharmaceutical strategy (currently a black box, however claimed to be unique”do not mix this up with ANR in California “), and especially in the case of opioid dependency it’s long-term Efficacy.
I have presented these questions to their website but have received no reply.

I used for 14 yrs, I always relapsed after a few months clean. The last 7 yrs were consecutive. I lost hope in being clean, I tried everything but always failed. I was fed up with life but by some miracle I found ANR. At first I thought it was a scam, I was wrong. What ANR does is incredible. It saved me, I’ll be 1 yr clean July 27. For the first time, I’m free. I see a couple negative reviews & it’s crazy. The few bad experiences didn’t follow directions or didn’t take time to understand how it works. You DONT wake up sick. You’ll be uncomfortable & exhausted. Your body goes through weeks of detox in hours, that’s a lot on the body. You may vomit, thats an anesthesia symptom. I threw up once & passed back out. You may be cold for a few weeks. It’s not hot/cold sweats & its not a big deal. The only part that sucks is opioids do a lot of damage to your gut. So you will have diarrhea for a bit. The first few days are the worst, I suggest getting diapers you may not be able to control it. By days 4-5 it’ll calm down but will last for a couple weeks & gets better everyday. It’s got to come out, people not understanding that & using it to slander ANR is crazy. Your sleep is the only other thing that takes a bit to fix. You’re still able to sleep it just won’t be 8 hours. This lasts 2-6 weeks depending on how much you work on what they tell you to do. I did everything they said before except work out, after I didn’t work out either but it still went very well for me. Had I worked out it would have went even better. This procedure is a miracle and it saved my life but it’s not magic, there’s still work you have to do. Its worth it. If you have questions before, ask them. They were very forthcoming with me, I knew what to expect. ANR is actually working towards curing addiction, to slander their name is sickening to me because they changed my life. I hope to one day see ANR everywhere, there’d be a lot less loved ones lost to addiction. Thank you for everything you do ANR.

I turned to opioids during an extremely sad time in my life…now, let me say this…I have always been a very strong willed/minded person…
I attempted x 3 to quit on my own..unsuccessfully…I once had to narcan myself and KNEW (from the effects of the medication) it was not possible for me to quit simply with ..willpower…not that willpower isn’t needed but I just knew there HAD to be a physical aspect to addiction as well…I thank God I found the ANR treatment/clinic.
No, it was not a piece of cake but I could handle it…post procedure I mean…weak, weak, weak for a good 6-8 weeks BUT I’ve yet to have the first craving since treatment 2/13/24…This IS a cure (IMHO) for (at least) opioid addiction…I don’t even take anything post procedure …I’m not having any cravings…why would I take something to help prevent cravings when I’m not having cravings in the first place..??? I don’t NEED the medication…my body physically needed the opioids and once those receptors were destroyed…it’s like clearing the slate on an ‘Etch-a-sketch’…my body needed to produce new endorphins, hence the extreme weakness…but I should add I am 59 years old too so the weakness might not have been so hard on a younger persons body…I knew sooner or later I would get a ‘tainted batch’ and I was not going to have my son find me dead at home…so I confessed to him that I was addicted to opioids and I needed help…Dr. Waisman’s treatment addresses the physical side of addiction…I credit it with saving my life…I will add that I am a nurse for 36 years now…his entire team members have a forever grateful mom…🙂

I had ANR in November 2023. It was almost 8 months ago, but it feels like thousands of years, and even then, it feels like it happened to someone else. Not because ANR changed me, but because they changed how I see myself in the mirror. After so many physicians and addiction “experts” decided that I would always be a drug addict, the ANR staff proved otherwise. And that, for me, was the best thing this treatment gave me. Of course, they took my cravings and withdrawals away for good. But this treatment also gave me life and direction. I will be forever grateful to these people.

Great staff. It really works if you lean into it.

It all started with a continuing and throbbing pain in my back and neck that was diagnosed as degenerative disc disease. I said, “All right, ok, I’m 40 years old now and I played a LOT of high contact sports, lots of banging around, ok, I guess it follows”. So, after chiropractic, acupressure, trigger point injections, hot treatment, cold treatment, stretching, deep tissue massages, this toothache-type pain persisted. I had to work so my Osteo Doctor referred me to a Pain Management Doctor who prescribed hydrocodone, which cut the pain down maybe 30% to 40% but not enough to allow me to focus on my very detailed and pressure packed job (and, yes, I DO believe that stress contributed to this situation). When I told my doctor that I wasn’t getting the relief I needed I was told about a new pain medication that was supposedly not addictive and long lasting (this was late 1990s, early 2000s). I said, “Let’s go!”. It was time released OxyContin. (Maybe some of you can relate…). Well, it worked. My pain went WAAAY down and I was able to work. The problem is that no drug comes without a cost, a side effect, a Gotcha!. This was, in fact, a highly addictive drug that, while effective, only masked the real problem. After a boating accident that injured a disc in my thoracic many years later and still needing to work I found it was easier to stay on the pain meds, at a higher dosage now because, like most drugs, a tolerance is built up requiring more. Anyway, to make a long story stop, in December of 2020 I miraculously found Dr. Waismann and made the call. They got me in right away, explained that my brain and central nervous system were not functioning properly and that I would be much better after the procedure. No withdrawals, no Cold Turkey (the absolute WORST experience, trying to stop…wow). I woke up the day after feeling weak but better. Today, at 65, I am in the shape of my life and doing great! Thank you, Dr. Waismann, I am now alive and thriving!

ANR saved my life. Here are some things you need to know:

1. Answer the phone when they call for pre-treatment calls. You will recover faster if you follow everything they say.
2. During the consultation, be honest with them. For once, you'll feel like somebody is on your side. No matter how messed up your situation is, they need to know. They've seen it all.
3. They don't want you to arrive at the day of the treatment in withdrawals, but dont take too much.I was nervous, so I stopped taking them much before admission. So don't :)
4. Again, listen to every word they say, especially what John and April tell you. They are angels and they know what they're doing.
5. You may be lucky enough to meet Dr. Waismann himself! I was fortunate to meet him briefly. From what I understood, he visits there every now and then.
6. If you can, book another day or two and stay in Florida. It's beautiful there and it will help you recover faster by traveling and moving around.
7. I know they say it will take 3-4 days to come back to normal. It will most likely take more. Prepare for a week of being tired.
8. ANR works. This is the most important thing you need to know. Because we all tried many treatments and failed. But you need to commit to this and wanting to be healthy. Good luck!

Best program ever! They treat u well they check in on u monthly! This program saved my life literally! An im so blessed I found out about anr! Had I tried other programs id not be this far already which is 4 months clean off feytnal. This is my first time being sober off everything sense I was 14 years old I'm 31 an im loving the sober life thanks to anr an the doctor an staff that works for anr! Most successful opiate program in the whole USA!

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!!!
