Why do people love coming to The Coleman Institute?

Partly it’s because our method of Rapid Non-Addictive, Medically Assisted Withdrawal from opioids just plain makes the experience tolerable. Our patients are generally highly motivated; they are exhausted from a life of dependence on pills or heroin or alcohol. They desperately want to stop, even though this desire is often coupled with overwhelming Fear, anxiety and shame.

For patients and family members, this can be a terrifying time. Parents fear their child will be the next in the brutal statistics of unintended opioid overdoes. They wonder what they’ve done wrong and what they could have/should have done differently. Spouses wonder if their partners will ever be clean and trustworthy again. Friends want their friends back. Patients are uncomfortable. Many must be wondering, “Is this snake oil? We’ve tried so many things before, how do we know this will work?”

And from the moment they arrive, the fear, anxiety, and shame begin to dissolve.

The fact is, we care, and our patients feel it.
