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 withdrawa ...
About ANR Clinic – Advanced Opioid Treatment
ANR Clinic’s Advanced Opioid Treatment is located in Tampa, Florida. This is an outpatient treatment drug rehab facility that uses a scientific approach to recovery. They work with adults who need support for their opioid use struggles. This facility is run by an addiction recovery specialist, Dr. Waismann, and his support staff.
Dr. Waismann is the pioneer of the recovery approach, Accelerated Neuro-Regulation (ANR) This therapy treats opioid dependence and the withdrawal symptoms that are associated with detox. The aim of this approach is to help regulate an individual’s central nervous system by encouraging it to resume normal endorphin production. Treatment is judgment free, compassionate, and treats the root cause of opioid dependency.
This recovery approach is broken into four steps. You’ll first be admitted into the facility where lab work and prep work will take place. You’ll undergo sedation so that you can navigate withdrawal symptoms without having to feel the pain associated with your withdrawal symptoms. The next stage of the recovery process happens after the sedation has worn off four to five hours later.
You’ll then be discharged from the facility. This usually happens a day later. After discharge, your stabilization monitoring will begin. You will come into the facility and will work with your care team to assess your stabilization and your overall recovery.
Recovery education will take place during this time, and you’ll learn about the importance of continuing physical activity and maintaining a proper diet. Optimization follow-ups will take place to ensure you are still on the right path to recovery.
This treatment approach is unique because the regulation of a recovering individual’s endorphin receptor system is one of the newer approaches to care and can offer promising results.

My mother became dependent on opioids during her time in hospice care for her aggressive and rare form of lymphatic cancer. After 2 and a half years of increasing dosages, specialists determined that her cancer miraculously went into full remission without any treatment. However, she was left with a crippling opioid dependency and a bleak outlook for someone who had just been healed. Hospice was now unwilling to fill her prescriptions for morphine after discharge, and neither would any doctor write a prescription for morphine to a woman presenting as totally healthy to be taken in 210mg (more than twice a lethal dose to a person without tolerance) doses.
In her desperation, she found ANR, which offered not just treatment for the chemical addiction, but a path to return to a substance free life. My mom underwent ANR treatment, with hope to live normally once again. The treatment was also a miraculous success, and provided a way to circumvent the typically brutal withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid cessation. After about 2 weeks, her appetite and energy returned. She's now full of vigor, and doing much of her own work to raise awareness about this incredible treatment. I have personally noticed no negative side effects in her. I think it is safe to say that this treatment provided the only possible path to recovery for my mother. I consider it a continuation of her healing miracle, and have only the most heartfelt thanks to the ANR Clinic for providing this treatment. I believe as my mother does that this treatment should become the standard of care for anyone who suffers from opioid addiction. Its time, cost, and methods are far superior to the standard, outdated treatments that leave patients dependent on substances like suboxone for the rest of their lives, and see high rates of recidivism in the patients.
ANR Clinic, thank you!!! You have truly earned my highest possible recommendation. Keep up the groundbreaking, and life saving work that you do.
I am not your typical drug addict. I took my first opiate when I was admitted to Hospice in July '22 with terminal Lymphoma. I had no cancer treatment whatsoever. The pain was unbearable and I started on Oxycodone, which would progress to Hydrocodone, Morphine and Hydromorphone for "breakthrough" pain. After 2 1/2 years in Hospice I was tested and found to be in spontaneous remission. No explanation for it: just a miracle.
What followed after being discharged from Hospice was the most terrifying period of my life (I was at peace with dying of cancer). The prospect of spending months in rehab, detoxing from 260 mg of Morphine per day was too much. I got a taste of withdrawal when I'd forgotten to take my scheduled Morphine dose and it was, in a word, horrific.
Then I discovered ANR online. I only had a limited supply of Morphine left and was concerned I wouldn't be eligible because of my unique situation. I called and they were able to expedite my approval for the procedure since I'd just had labs and bloodwork done. I completed the procedure in early March '25. The staff at ANR exhibited the highest level of professionalism and caring. The ICU nurses were amazing and believe me, I was a very high maintenance patient. I would spend longer in the hospital and have a much longer recovery but, if I could do it, anyone can.
It took most of our savings, but I would do it all over again and am so grateful for ANR and my life free of opiates. This should be the first-line treatment for OUD and I'm making it my mission to ensure that happens. If you're thinking about treatment for your dependency/addiction, start with ANR and avoid multiple trips to rehab. You'll be so glad you did.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient rehabs encompass multiple levels of care to facilitate clients' progress through their recovery journey. Clients who are stepping down from inpatient treatment may require intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment, which involves more frequent and substantive therapeutic interventions than does standard outpatient care. Outpatient centers typically provide extensive addiction counseling, including individual, group, and family therapy. Medication assisted treatment programs (MAT) and recovery-focused life skills training are also common in outpatient care.
Inpatient Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Medically Assisted Detox Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.
Treatments
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Clinical Services
Group therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for people in Florida who are struggling with drug addiction. There you can openly discuss the challenges and progress you're making without fear of judgment from your peers who experience many of the same things you are.
Individual therapy often includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This is a structured approach to identifying and changing negative thought patterns. During therapy you learn how what you think drives your actions so you can develop healthier coping strategies to manage addiction triggers and reduce drug use.
During family therapy sessions, you navigate the complexities of addiction and are provided tools to help improve communication and resolve conflicts. When you work together, families can better support their loved one's recovery and restore balance and harmony within the household.
