DEVICE MAKES OPIOID WITHDRAWAL PAINLESS // One of the most difficult parts of quitting opioid addiction, whether it involves codeine, fentanyl, Vicodin or heroin, is the acute pain associated with the process. Many experts believe that both the pain of detox and the fear of that pain are one of the greatest barriers to patient detoxification and rehabilitation. It’s clear that many patients quit before they can be moved to a medication-assisted treatment program. A new alternative pain management treatment for withdrawal and other acute pain patients is the BRIDGE medical device, which offers acute pain patients a powerful alternative to suffering through medication-assisted detox. The BRIDGE works through neuro-stimulation and is an auricular peripheral nerve field stimulator that connects topically to the patient’s ear, blocking pain signals from getting through the brain.
