ABC News – Florida Detox – Dr. Sponaugle Rapid Detox for Drug Addiction Treatment – floridadetox.com – A woman who says she was addicted to Xanax and Methadone came to Tarpon Springs to detox. She says it was painless. Five months later she is still drug free. Deborah Wade says, “I’d take 100 milligrams of Methadone a day.” Deborah says she spent most of her life as an addict. Her love affair with pain killers and opiates started when she was seven after a doctor gave her pain meds after a surgery. “I can remember just absolutely begging for those shots, pain shots, and I was only seven.” She says she used heroin, spent twenty years on Methadone and most recently relied on 11 Xanax pills a day. She came to Doctor Rick Sponaugle, of Florida Detox, when all other treatments failed. Doctor Sponaugle has detoxed and treated more than 5000 people here at Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital. He says people come from all over the country. Debbie came from North Carolina. She was put under general anesthesia so she basically slept while her body went thorough accelerated detox under the doctor’s supervision. She says, “They put me under and when I got the tubes out from me I started walking the halls, going outside and smelling the roses, watching little lizards and I felt wonderful.” But the doctor says, in order to keep a patient from relapsing you have to treat the cause of the addiction.

I think the NHS have stopped helping people with drug addictions, how stupid? I think this has only come about just recently.
First of all, let me say that I emphathize with the seriousness of your situation as I have had friends who continue to battle with this addiction. I will pray for your strength and your soon recovery – completely of this disease (dis – ease of the mind causes many addictions). I would first contact the local hospitals who have ‘connections’ with mental health facilities. I am not sure where you live, but here in Nashville, the Vanderbilt hospital has a connection with the mental health unit and they can recommend ‘free’ treatment centers. Secondly, you can always check the yellow pages. Believe it or not – many of these centers are listed and available for help. Third, contact your local social services office. If you are truly serious about recovery, they can assist you. Fourth, I hope that you have a church home or affiliation. While many people don’t think much of churches and their functions these days, I have to admit that there are many who have bought into the programs of helping their parishioners because the truth is – PEOPLE NEED HELP and are crying out! Our churchu has access to the facilitiies in our community and our Pastor is very big on community services and church provided services for the people who need help. Please check out any of these avenues and do whatever is necessary to help yourself. Your life depends on it – and we depend on you. You are necessary to us – to your family and to your community. While you are in this pain – recognize that you are not the only one – and someone, somewhere needs your help. We need you to be whole, healthy and strong. Bless you as you progress and if you need someone to support you, comfort and encourage you, please seek my email address and we can communicate further. I know what you are going through and it’s rough – but the accomplishment of success is possible. God bless you.
The Sponaugle protocol for safe and painless detox for benzodiazepines has the luxury of using intravenous (IV) medications if necessary to prevent all benzo withdrawal symptoms. Our patients do not? suffer tachycardia (racing heart), elevated blood pressure or any seizure-like activity.
The Florida Detox technique prevents twitching, muscle cramping, nausea and other typical symptoms of benzodiazepine detox.
