The Waismann Method, a pioneering medical opiate detoxification procedure, offers one of the most advanced medical procedures worldwide with the medical expertise and advanced technology to treat dependencies to Zolpidem, a prescription medication widely used for the short-term treatment of insomnia and prescribed under trade names including Ambien and Edluar. The Waismann Method of Rapid Ambien Detox involves a safe, medically-assisted treatment to Ambien addiction in a hospital setting. This approach offers patients an alternative to traditional Ambien detoxification, which even when done gradually, can be extremely dangerous and even life threatening.
"Sleep problems are common in today's society. Ambien and other prescription sleep aids can help insomnia, but should only be taken as an interim resolution," said Dr. Michael Lowenstein, co-director for the Waismann Method. "When Ambien is taken for an extended period of time or in high doses, users can develop a tolerance to the drug, making it habit forming. Misuse of Ambien can potentially lead to short-term memory loss as well as bizarre side effects such as binge eating or sleepwalking."
Ambien, the brand name of Zolpidem, is a non-narcotic sleep aid meant for short-term treatment. It is considered a Schedule IV Controlled Substance in the U.S. and is a central nervous system depressant which slows normal brain activity. The sedative is also considered a hypnotic with effects similar to drugs in the benzodiazepine family such as Xanax, though they are molecularly different. Ambien can impair thinking and reaction time so users should avoid tasks that require alertness, such as driving or operating machinery.
