ANR® Clinic - Advanced Opioid Treatment Center Reviews 111

ANR is simply a lifesaver. There is nothing else like it out there. To put it plainly, it is the ONLY thing that works for addiction, I've done that many times, and nothing else works. The entire hsopital and office staff are amazing, so helpful, and caring. Do yourself a favor and if you want your life back call them. 20k is a lot of money but its nothing compared to saving your life.

ANR really literally saved my life. I tried to other rehab methods and relapsed almost immediately. It's been 6 months since my ANR treatment.. I lost 50 lbs going to the gym, I'm back at work and have thousands of dollars actually saved.. I've never looked or felt better. If you need help, this IS the place.

I got my second chance thanks to the wonderful people at ANR. I will remember you forever, especially John!

I would not recommend this treatment to anyone. Living with someone with addiction is very hard but dealing with my husband after doing this procedures has been and is a nightmare. You do not get after care as they say. You actually can't get anyone to answer the after care number given when released. Not worth spending the $ and dealing with what I'm dealing with.

ANR seems almost magical to me. Let's start with the positives:
I am free from opioids. This doesn't just mean just my body is free of opioids (unlike detox and other treatments that they just wash them out). It means that I, Aya - in mind, body, and soul, am completely free from opioids. Yes, I have no cravings at all. Not even a little bit. I could go 200 years without even thinking about taking them.
This is a feeling I've never experienced in my life.

The negatives? Well, it is costly and requires a trip to Florida, as ANR clinics aren't widely available yet.
Also, you will be extremely tired for the first 3-4 days, and you'll need to push yourself to move, eat, etc to hasten recovery. After about 4-5 days (though this can vary depending on your medical history, to my cousin it took around a week), you'll start to feel much better, blessed, healthy, and ready to take on life.
A huge thank you to the ANR team - and of course, Dr. Waismann, for making this treatment available to the world.

Last month, I traveled to Florida for treatment. ANR was my final attempt after numerous failed efforts. Despite trying various treatments, I consistently relapsed, as my urge to use was always stronger than my desire to be healthy and free from medication. As a pain patient, I felt let down by my doctor who left me in a difficult situation, cutting off my opioid prescription without offering any guidance on managing my addiction. ANR not only treated me but also restored my hope. They treated me with respect and understanding, seeing me as a patient rather than a problematic individual who needed to change their personality to fit back into society. God bless you all.

After 13 years of everyday prescription pills / heroin use and 5 1/2 years of suboxone and a 6 month fentanyl / heroin relapse, I found ANR and made the decision to get off opiates. I had gone through a 12-Step rehab program when I started taking Suboxone and knew if I did that again, I’d just end up on Suboxone again. I setup a consultation with ANR at the beginning of September ‘23 and at the end of the call, scheduled my appointment for the 28th, which was a little over 3 weeks out. I arrived at the clinic and was quickly greeted by a nurse who took me back to prep me for the treatment. I spoke with the Dr. Karemba and honestly don’t remember a whole lot more from that morning. When I woke up, I was relieved to not be experiencing the anxiety, hot/cold sweats, calves feeling like they were going to explode of withdrawal. The only withdrawal symptom I was experiencing was with my stomach. After 19 years of daily opiate use, I knew being opiate free was going to be an adjustment for my stomach and I was expecting that I’d have to deal with it for a few days but days turned to weeks and at 6 weeks post procedure, my stomach finally started to improve. ANR does mention on their website that this is the most common symptom, so I was expecting that I’d be dealing with it for a few days but it took a lot longer than that for me. I’m not going to lie, that month and a half wasn’t fun, despite that, I don’t regret my decision and given the chance, I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Once my stomach started improving, I was finally able to truly appreciate what ANR did for me. I was stuck in that addiction for so long but I’ve been opiate free for 2 1/2 months now and I can’t remember a time when I’ve felt better physically and mentally.
I believe in this procedure and truly hope insurance companies start covering it in the future. It really should be available to anyone who is living with opiate addiction.

ANR will be your last treatment, but it's incredibly expensive. They have only one center in Florida, and the total cost, including trips and flights, was around $23,000 for me. They really need to get this covered by insurance and make it available in more states. It's absurd that achieving freedom from opioids comes with such a high price tag. But – this treatment is effective, and very much so. Dr. Waismann is, without a doubt, the best in the field. (And don't get confused with The Waismann Method in California!)

So I've been addicted to opiods for over 10 years and I've been through two 6 month long term treatment centers, two half way houses, and at least four 1 month treatment centers. I tell you this to say usually drugs get sneaked into these places or there is no support afterwards and you are just thrown out into the world and expected to survive. As my addiction grew and got worse. I got to a point where I wasnt even getting high anymore and was so absolutely terrified of the withdrawal and I would use just so I wouldn't be sick. ANR is real, it's legitimate and it honestly works. It wasn't all cupcakes and rainbows I definitely did not feel 100% for the first 2 to 3 days after the treatment but it was nothing compared to cold turkey withdrawal or even the withdrawal I would get when trying to transfer to suboxone. With ANR they walked me through the process did a medical evaluation on me to make sure I was fit enough for the procedure and afterwards they provided medication to help with the 2 days after the treatment but honestly it was nothing and I mean NOTHING compared to how sick I usually would get when trying to quit. Also they provide you with a 30 day supply of naltrexone that blocks the craving of opiates and they send a refill to a pharmacy of your choosing each month after the procedure. When it comes to the procedure, they put you to sleep and use a medication to remove the opiates from your body at a extremely fast rate getting you through the worst part while under. Everybody is under for different lengths of time due to how severe your dependency is, for myself it was 7 hours I believe. When you come too your in a private room, nurses are there to take care of you, make sure your doing well & have everything you need. Your released the day after the procedure but you stay in the area for a additional 2 days. An ANR team member comes by each day to make sure you are progressing & help in any way they can. All I can say is this is real, a real shot at saving your life, a real opportunity to chage your life and a real chance at being happy without drugs and living a life without the fear of withdrawal. I didn't think any of this was possible with how bad I had got over the years. In closing I just want to say THANK YOU ANR for all you have done for me and giving me the gift of freedom.

This is my second review, 1 day later. Day 2 after procedure. I've never felt better. I was quite addicted and this place made me better in 12 hours. Here's the truth, the sleeping after the procedure is pretty brutal, but more than manageable, they got all the good meds and give them as needed. I'll write a review for ANR everyday I'm so grateful. Go clean yourself up. Call Cindy. You're welcome

You're gonna feel super tired for about three days. But man, this was the only thing that worked for me. Trust me, I've tried it all. Save yourself some cash and time, do ANR. (follow their guidelines before and after treatment too), and put this whole mess behind you. Best of luck.

Undergoing this treatment was a transformative experience, marking a significant turning point in my life. This treatment was an incredibly quick and painless. A unique aspect of this method is that it effectively blocks opioid receptors post-treatment, thereby reducing the possibility of relapse.I hope my testimonial as a patient who has truly experienced it can provide some meaningful insights:

Upon reaching the hospital, I was warmly welcomed by Dr. Kabamba, who was very pleasant. The procedure. I don't remember feeling any withdrawal symptoms or anything beyond that point. My next memory is waking up in the middle of the night needing to use the restroom, the nurses assisting me with medication to return to sleep, and then waking up the next day feeling very tired, but very calm and comfortable.

I have attempted detoxification numerous times before, including cold turkey, suboxone, dose tapering, medical marijuana, and rapid detox, to name a few. But ANR was by far the most straightforward and effortless experience. The primary goal of the procedure is to swiftly and painlessly overcome withdrawals and reinstate a pre-dependency chemical balance, which it did remarkably well! The last time I tried home detox, I was severely ill for an entire month, and after a month-long ordeal, I unfortunately relapsed, landing me back at square one.

The exceptional experience at the ANR Clinic inspired me to share my journey and help others grappling with overcoming addiction. I hope my story can provide some guidance and support for anyone battling the shackles of addiction. Good luck!!!

The entire ANR team treated me like an actual human, not just some addict that doesn’t deserve help. After 19 years of OUD countless treatments & detox centers, kratom, suboxone, sublocade, methadone. They saved my life, I went from 110 mg of methadone to nothing in a matter of hours with NO WITHDRAWAL NO CRAVINGS! After the procedure they checked in with me daily for the first week. After that I got on a plane by myself and flew home to Colorado… they continued to check in with me weekly after that and now monthly…. They don’t just drop you they follow through, THEY CARE ! 4/19/23 They set me FREE … I would do it again ! My brain works again for the first time in 19 years… I’m back to work and thriving! Forever grateful 🤟🏻

I would shout from the rooftops if I could to anyone and everyone who is looking to get clean from OPIATES to go to ANR. They treated me the dignity and respect that other programs failed to do. They help me realize that I am not an addict, but someone who had trauma & became physically dependent on this drug. I tried many treatment options, and nothing compares to ANR. I highly recommend that anyone go to ANR over any other treatment options.

After being prescribed 180, 30 mg oxycodone for a back injury many years ago I became addicted to opioids. Unfortunately I did not know that somehow my life would turn into a downward spiral causing me to become a person that I didn’t even know anymore. After countless attempts to end my addiction to opioids but to no avail I am finally cured! I owe my life to firstly, Dr. Waismann this amazing doctor for coming up with this procedure I prayed for miracle and did some research and found ANR Clinic. I tried a medical detox before which unbeknownst to me was them giving me 2 mg of Suboxone every few hours for 48 stay in a hospital, which was a complete waste of insurance money if you ask me because I just have done that in the comfort of my own home. The end result was supposed to be a Suboxone taper which never happens because it’s harder to get off Suboxone then oxycodone which they don’t tell you. I relapsed I went right back to oxycodone to a Doctor who would charge patients $700 a month cash refused to take insurance for the script but fraudulently charged my insurance thousands of dollars for these procedures she would make us do which had nothing to do with what I was there for! I found ANR Clinic last summer and after realizing the cost at the time I did not have the money( you can do financing the way for this procedure )which I didn’t realize at the time. I found out insurance will not cover it but they cover fraudulent doctors like the one I was going to it really makes you think. 2 months ago, I went to my mother, which because of my extreme change in personality and life throughout the years she already knew I had an addiction. I told her told her about ANR she gave me the money. I scheduled my appointment and and I am in such a different place in my life from two months ago! I am back to the person I was prior to ever taking opioids. I have my life back. This place is absolutely amazing. I was greeted by nurse Laurie, who is an angel she is the most caring, nicest nurse I have ever had an encounter with she really cares honestly!! If it wasn’t for her, I probably would’ve walked out that day. I remember nothing about the procedure. They make you feel extremely comfortable, you do not have to come in there going through withdrawals you could literally come in there taking a pill or whatever opioid you’re taking up to the moment, you walk in the door. They give you something to help you relax and last thing I remember was them putting a mask on my face, then waking up, when it was time for me to go home. I cannot believe I did not feel one withdrawal at all!!! No sickness Not one craving, due to them blocking your opiate receptors because of this the thought of taking a pill did not come across my mind at all the thought of it now actually disgusts me. The only thing which is minuscule to me is you are completely completely out of it and exhausted to be honest I don’t even remember the first two days in the hotel because I was sleeping the entire time .They give you medication for the first few days to help you sleep.
John who is the patient advocate who comes to check on you multiple times the days following the procedure is such an amazing caring person. I can’t say enough good things about him as well. He’s very responsive when you have any questions and if you need anything, he’s extremely helpful and makes you feel very comfortable. I wasn’t going to share my story, I was embarrassed about it but the amount of people that I know in the past year they have died from this horrible epidemic is insane a few being very close friends. If I could save someone’s life by sharing my experience at ANR I have no problems telling my story. I just wish I had found them sooner because if I would’ve known that three weeks after the procedure, I have my life back I have my personality back I actually feel alive again. Knowing this I would’ve paid any amount of money to know that today I would feel this good. I wake up every day with a sense of freedom, free from being a slave to this horrible addiction for such a long time it is really sad that insurance companies are refusing to pay for this procedure. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Waismann, Nurse Laurie, John and ANR Clinic because they truly gave me my life back.

This procedure changed my life and pretty much transformed me into a new person. This is the fastest, most painless way to come off opioids. The best part about this method is that the opioid receptors are BLOCKED after the treatment, so you can’t relapse. I decided to do the procedure after reading what the website said, but not reading anyone’s experience so I had no idea what to expect; hopefully, this review will help others hear from a PATIENT WHO HAS ACTUALLY GONE THRU IT, and not just bs. When I arrived at the hospital, I was greeted by Dr. Kabamba who is very nice. I was put under anesthesia and the procedure began and honestly, I could not feel a thing from the withdrawals or remember anything past that point. I just remember waking up in the middle of the night needing to pee, and the nurses bringing me some medication to go back to sleep, then waking up the next day feeling VERY weak. I have detoxed many different times and using every method possible like cold turkey, suboxone, tapering dose, using medical marijuana and of course rapid detox. ANR was by far the easiest process I have ever experienced if you would even really call it that. The whole attraction of the procedure is to get through the withdrawals QUICKLY and as PAINLESS as possible, and establish a pre-dependency chemical state, and it WORKED! Last time I tried to detox at home I was so sick for literally an entire month; no exaggeration. After a month of suffering and cravings, one night I relapsed and ended up right back to where I started. Since this amazing experience at ANR Clinic i decided I wanted to help others who struggle with getting clean and make this review. Hopefully this will help someone out there who is struggling with the grips of addiction. I hope by sharing my experience I help others become free from the misery of opioid addiction as I did.

On my first call, it was the first time in my life that I heard somebody who understood my problem. Kristi, John, Maria, Rob... and of course, THE Dr. Weismann are extraordinary human beings.
Thank you for treating me like a human being, not a "dirty junkie".
It feels great not being sick anymore, feel productive, happy and optimistic about the future.

The main thing about this treatment is that you can go through the worst of the withdrawals while you're asleep and you cannot relapse after since the receptors are blocked. There are no cravings. I don’t remember a thing from the withdrawals and I didn’t feel anything which I thought was pretty amazing. It felt like sleeping through the first 7 days of withdrawal which is the worst and waking up on day 9 when its pretty much over. I recommend you few days off work since you may will feel psychically weak. Really that's about it. I had none of the typical depression symptoms associated with detoxing which I thought was amazing since those were always almost as bad as the physical symptoms for me.

This place is the absolute best! If you want to really stop using opioids, but are afraid of the withdrawal, ANR has has the answer. With their method you will have NO withdrawal suffering. I have been through ANR’s procedure and in 29 hours I was free of opioids with no withdrawal! I was injecting many times daily and took my last shot at ANR before going inside fearful, that I would go into withdrawal. Turns out I had nothing to fear. They quickly performed their procedure on me and I never had any withdrawal, cravings, or desire for opioids again! If you want to be free of opioids call ANR.

After nearly a decade of Oxycodone addiction, and trying every method to quit, I finally decided to go to the Waismann clinic and do the procedure which they say returns the patient to a pre-addiction state. At first I was a bit nervous as I had never heard of this type of treatment before but after many failed attempts to quit I knew it had to be done and my appointment was set a few weeks later. Its been about 4 months now since the procedure and honestly I don't remember much, I was asleep the whole time during the withdrawals so at least that was over with but I felt very very tired for a few days and had to call off work. Overall it was much easier than quitting cold turkey or trying kratom or methadone so at least now I am restored to normal. The craving for the oxycodone has also gone down and I havent had any desire to use opioids since the treatment. The hospital staff was very nice and accommodating and the whole experience was not too bad; just quite a bit of money but its totally worth it and I would recommend this to anyone struggling with addiction.
