About ANR Clinic – Advanced Opioid Treatment

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.

Where do I begin. This experience was the worst. First they never kept me post when it came to my husband. Second we were told that this program was only for people who were dependents and the did not treat addictions. After reading these reviews I found out otherwise. I am extremely upset over this whole thing. The first day I got no calls no updates. They told my sister in law who lives in a whole other state. I reached out and asked that that be corrected without response. I text a second time with and update like this “he’s fine and the procedure is going well “. Really. That’s it. The Dr. never once even reached out not once. The next message was “Brian’s in his room and resting”. That’s it. No other communication. I waited for someone anyone I. E. The Dr to call bet never did. The next day my husband was released to a hotel an hr away from where the procedure took place. They told me when we got to the hospital that my husband was doing very well. He was up walking and eating. The car ride was a nightmare as my husband was so out of it. He was trying to get out of the car he was just all over the place. We get to the hotel and they were wonderful. They were actually bedder than the hospital. The first night was a nightmare. My husband was restless and couldn’t sleep. My husband fell the first night and broke his nose. How can you discharge a person under this much anesthesia. The nurse came the next morning. She is a very sweet person. She was great with my husband and very informative. We did tell her that he fell and she was very sympathetic. After my husband became more alert I found out so much more info. The day he was discharged the told me he was up and walking and eating. That was absolutely not true. He said they came in told him he was being d/c he took a shower and then booted. My husband never saw a Dr. He is home now and doing better. Thank god I was in the medical field for 20 yrs and work with a Dr who did this but better. His pt stayed at least 3 days on the hospital. This Dr is the most unprofessional person. The nurses were great and some went above and beyond to take care of my husband Please don’t insult my intelligence by one of your cheese responses. It’s because of you my husband fell and broke his nose. If you truly knew his history you would have know that this was a horrible thing as he’s had 8 back surgery with the most recent 9 months ago.

Anr clinic completely gave me my life back. I had been addicted for the last 15 years and was very skeptical about the whole treatment. But I’m living proof it works. I had the procedure on a Wednesday and was back at work by Monday. Everybody involved in the process was great answered any and all questions. So if your on the fence about getting it done do it, it’ll change your life for the better.

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 iconOutpatient

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 iconInpatient

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 iconMedically 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 thumbnail image

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.

If you can, do it

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 ... Read More

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 ... Read More

Just a heads up: the procedure does work, and you will eventually feel better. But be prepared for the immediate aftermath—it’s tough. Even after sedation, (when you withdrew and thrashed and sweat for hours strapped to a table.) You’re going to hurt and feel rough for a while. The good news is that by about day 7, I felt back to normal. My best advice: push yourself to exercise when you can. Getting those endorphins going really helps.

Response from the owner
Thank you for your honest and thoughtful feedback, John. Recovery looks different for everyone, and your transparency helps others know what to expect—and that it does get better. We're so glad to hear you're feeling back to yourself, and your advice about exercise is spot on. Wishing you continued strength and healing ahead!

The whole experience with ANR was wonderful. The team does an exceptional job at treating the patients. The procedure really works. Based on my experience, I felt back to normal in 6 days. I’m very thankful for ANR & the team that helped me. I highly recommend going to ANR if you’re trying to get off opiates!

Response from the owner
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Tjaden. We’re truly glad to hear you felt back to normal so quickly and that our team could support you every step of the way. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we hope your story inspires others to take the step toward lasting freedom from opioid dependence.

Thanks to the entire ANR staff for helping me turn my life around, I still have a long road ahead of me, but these guys certainly helped me get a huge head start!!! -Brandon

Since getting cancer at 17 and being prescribed opiates perk 10s at the time, I have fought a lifelong battle. 46 now, and have 30 years of dope in my body, street dope the strong kind. I tried to slack off and cut back all the things one thinks they could accomplish if they wanted it bad enough. This isn’t the case, fent withdraw has your muscles locked up by the third day off of it and by the fifth day ur thinking about the old revolver to the dome. Kids need there mothers and fathers, that’s not an option for anyone but you still thank on it. Then u realize u have 4 months of feeling this way. I am an engineer and a hell of a functioning addiction, with a 3g a month habit still making it work. But the cage and lease that was always around me made myself and everyone else miserable. Look people who haven’t walked this path could never understand and I hope they never have to. But to you addict, I was there just a short time ago. This ANR thing is by far the best chance you got to grab ahold of ur life bud relationships again. Look find the money, I took out of 401k, because u will make it back. You will see with clarity and love and compassion again. You will beat the beast that has been on your back for years. And hey if your on the fence just shoot me a txt. Btw they follow up with you after you are released. There is this John guy and the second day out of the hospital I was in a dark place. This man understands and knows what needs to be said or even nothing at all and just be there for you. He cares man and they all do. So do it for ur yourself please. It’s beautiful on this side come join me.

Response from the owner
Bryan, thank you for sharing your story with such raw honesty and courage. Your words speak directly to those still in the fight—and your journey is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, even after decades of struggle.

We’re incredibly honored to have walked beside you in this chapter, and we’re so glad to hear that we were there when you needed it most. You’ve taken your life back—and your message is going to help others do the same. Wishing you strength, clarity, and peace ahead.

After 10 years of bupe, I found ANR. After 8 days im completely clean and free of the crutch. The staff before, during, and especially in the few days after were amazing. This is as close to a miracle solution as it gets. First few days are rough but day by day, it will get better. 100% recommend for those that are able.

Response from the owner
Jim, we’re so glad you found your way to ANR—and even more grateful to hear you’re feeling free after 10 years on medication. Your honesty about the early days and your hope for what comes next will mean so much to others considering this path. Thank you for sharing your journey—we’re cheering you on every step of the way.

Seems amazing... almost too good to be true..but it would be impossible for me to afford this even with financing...at least I know there is something out there that could finally help me..and I will never reach it...

Response from the owner
We hear you, Jacob—and you're not alone in feeling this way. It’s incredibly hard when real hope feels out of reach. We’re actively working to make ANR more accessible and wish we could remove every financial barrier today. Please know this: the fact that you're still searching, still wanting healing, says so much about your strength. Don’t lose hope—your life is worth fighting for, and we’ll be here if and when you're ready.
