UROD Procedure (Rapid Detoxification of the Body)

Opioid addiction is one of the most serious health challenges today, and the path to overcoming this type of addiction is often hindered by the physical and psychological symptoms of withdrawal. Precisely for this reason, detoxification of the body is the first and most important step towards recovery.

The UROD procedure (Ultra Rapid Opioid Detoxification) is a modern, medically proven method of rapid and safe cleansing of the body from opiates. Unlike traditional approaches, UROD enables the patient to go through this process in the shortest possible time and without significant suffering.

At the MedTiM clinic, the UROD procedure is carried out under constant expert supervision and with an individually tailored treatment plan, in controlled conditions and with maximum attention to the safety and comfort of each patient. This marks the beginning of the journey to lasting recovery and a return to a healthy life.

What is the UROD Procedure?

UROD (Ultra Rapid Opioid Detoxification) is a modern medical procedure intended for people who want to begin the process of overcoming opiate addiction quickly and efficiently. Unlike traditional methods, which require longer periods of time and involve the presence of withdrawal symptoms, UROD allows for accelerated cleansing of the body, with minimal discomfort for the patient.

The aim of this method is to eliminate opiates from the body as quickly as possible, cleanse the opioid receptors, and stabilise neurochemical processes in the body. In this way, physical dependence is broken and the conditions are created for continued psychological and social recovery.

The UROD procedure is particularly important for those patients who have repeatedly tried to stop using psychoactive substances on their own, but without success. Speed, efficiency, and reduced risk of relapse make this method one of the most modern approaches in addiction treatment.

Who is the UROD Procedure Intended For?

The UROD procedure is intended for people who have developed a physical dependence on opiates, whether natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic substances. It is most commonly used in cases involving:

This method is particularly suitable for patients facing severe forms of addiction who require a quick, effective solution that does not expose them to additional suffering. The UROD procedure is recommended for:

Patients with a long history of addictive behaviour, who have developed physical and psychological dependence on opiates and for whom standard treatment methods have so far been unsuccessful or insufficient. In such cases, prolonged use of psychoactive substances leaves a strong impact on the body, so rapid and targeted intervention is required.
People who have repeatedly attempted detoxification on their own, but each time experienced a relapse due to intense withdrawal symptoms. UROD offers a solution that allows the physical aspect of addiction to be overcome without exhausting and painful symptoms, increasing the chances of successful continuation of treatment.
Patients with pronounced symptoms of physical dependence, in whom the presence of opiates has become a biological necessity, and abstinence causes serious disturbances such as insomnia, pain, tremors, rapid heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and extreme mental tension.
Those who wish to begin recovery as soon as possible under professional supervision, without lengthy preparation and a drawn-out process. UROD enables rapid entry into a state of physical stability, which is the first condition for further psychological work and complete rehabilitation.

In all these cases, the UROD procedure can represent a turning point, offering the patient a new chance to begin a life free from addiction — without pain, without delay, and under the care of a professional team.

The UROD procedure is not a universal solution for all forms of addiction; it is carried out only in carefully selected patients, following prior diagnosis and assessment of overall health. At the MedTiM clinic, each patient undergoes a thorough evaluation before starting therapy, to ensure the treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to individual needs.

Benefits of UROD Detoxification

The UROD procedure has proven to be one of the most effective solutions in the initial treatment of opiate addiction. Its use offers a number of clear advantages, making it superior to traditional detoxification methods in terms of both speed and quality of recovery.

Speed and Efficiency

Unlike standard detoxification programmes, which last several days or weeks and involve a gruelling withdrawal process, UROD enables the cessation of physical dependence in an extremely short timeframe. This allows the patient to progress without delay to the next phase of recovery — stabilisation and psychological rehabilitation.

Reduction or Absence of Withdrawal Symptoms

One of the main reasons patients struggle to break free from addiction is the intensity of withdrawal symptoms. In the UROD procedure, thanks to targeted medication and continuous monitoring, symptoms such as tremors, pain, insomnia, nausea, and mental tension are significantly reduced — or even completely absent. The patient does not experience the typical phase of pain and exhaustion, making this method far more tolerable.

Opioid Receptor Clearance

The medications used in the UROD protocol act at the molecular level by blocking the effects of opiates on opioid receptors. This brings an end to physical dependence and initiates the regeneration of neurological functions that have been disrupted by long-term use of psychoactive substances.

Decreased Cravings for the Substance After Detox

Following successful UROD detox, many patients report a significant reduction in cravings for opiates. This is the result of stabilised biochemical processes in the brain and pharmacological support, both of which help maintain abstinence and reduce the risk of relapse.

Higher Motivation to Continue Treatment

When a patient experiences clear physical relief in a short period and sees progress without pain or exhaustion, it has a strong impact on their psychological state. Motivation to continue psychotherapy and address the deeper causes of addictive behaviour increases significantly, further enhancing the chances of long-term success.

What Does the Course of Treatment Look Like?

The UROD procedure at the MedTiM clinic is carried out according to a strictly defined medical protocol, with constant supervision and full support from the professional team. Each stage of treatment is carefully tailored to the patient’s health status, the type and duration of addiction, and their individual needs.

Treatment is conducted through three clearly structured phases:

1. Diagnostics and Preparation

Before starting the actual detoxification, the patient undergoes a comprehensive examination to determine their eligibility for the UROD procedure and to ensure maximum safety. This phase includes:

laboratory tests (blood count, biochemical values)
electrocardiographic examination (ECG) and other functional assessments
consultation with a doctor and psychological evaluation
assessment of the duration, intensity, and history of addiction
review of general physical condition and any chronic illnesses

The aim of this phase is to tailor the treatment to the patient and minimise any risks during the detoxification process.

2. Detoxification

After preparation, the accelerated cleansing phase of the body begins. During this process, specialised medications — primarily opioid antagonists — are administered that:

Thanks to precisely dosed, fast-acting medications, the most difficult phase of physical withdrawal occurs under controlled conditions and takes less time compared to traditional methods. In this way, the body overcomes addiction without exhaustion and prolonged suffering.

3. Supervision and Stabilisation

Throughout the entire process, the patient is under continuous medical supervision. Vital functions, electrolyte balance, hydration levels, and all other key physiological parameters are monitored to ensure comfort and safety. Following detoxification, the stabilisation phase begins, which includes:

This comprehensive and carefully managed treatment structure enables the patient to quickly regain physical stability and approach further rehabilitation with greater confidence.

The Most Common Symptoms Avoided by UROD

For those attempting to break free from opiate addiction, withdrawal symptoms represent one of the greatest obstacles on the road to recovery. Physical pain and intense psychological reactions often lead to feelings of hopelessness, resulting in relapse and discontinuation of treatment.

This is precisely where the key advantage of the UROD method lies — it enables the patient to undergo detoxification without the suffering typically associated with traditional “cold turkey” approaches. Symptoms that usually occur at full intensity are significantly reduced or completely eliminated in this process.

Physical Symptoms Alleviated by UROD:

Intense muscle and joint pain, which in classic withdrawal can last for days and significantly impair quality of life.
Tremors, sweating, and fever, which further exhaust the body.
Rapid heartbeat and elevated blood pressure, which in some patients can cause serious complications.
Digestive problems, including nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea, as part of the body’s reaction to the sudden cessation of substance intake.
Digestive problems, including nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea, as part of the body’s reaction to the sudden cessation of substance intake.
Extreme exhaustion and insomnia, which further weaken the patient’s will to persist in the recovery process.

Psychological Symptoms Alleviated by UROD:

Anxiety and feelings of inner tension, which in many addicts escalate into panic attacks.
Irritability, anger, and explosive reactions, which make communication and support from others more difficult.
Depressive mood and apathy, common causes of treatment dropout in the early stages.
Intense craving for the substance, which often appears within hours of abstinence during self-detoxification.

Thanks to targeted, rapid, and expertly supervised detoxification, UROD enables patients to bypass the most severe physical and psychological aspects of withdrawal, significantly increasing the chances of a successful start to rehabilitation. When symptoms are controlled from the outset, patients are more motivated, stable, and prepared to continue with the next stages of treatment.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

One of the key advantages of the UROD method is its duration. Unlike traditional detoxification programmes that can last days or weeks, the UROD procedure is completed within a significantly shorter timeframe, allowing a faster transition into the recovery phase.

Fast Detoxification — A Benefit That Changes the Course of Treatment

The detoxification process itself lasts only a few hours. During this time, thanks to a carefully planned protocol and medical support, the body undergoes the most difficult phase of physical opiate withdrawal without the usual crisis symptoms. This approach enables patients to quickly achieve physical stability and build strength to continue rehabilitation.

It is precisely this speed and efficiency that make UROD especially suitable for those who want to be free from physical addiction as soon as possible and begin a new chapter in life — without exhausting and prolonged withdrawal periods.

Possibility of Repetition

Depending on the duration and severity of the addiction, as well as the body’s response to treatment, repeated detoxification may be recommended in certain cases. However, for the majority of patients, a single treatment is sufficient to successfully break physical dependence and progress to the next phase of psychological and social rehabilitation.

UROD is a reliable and accelerated detoxification method, suitable for those seeking an effective and professionally guided solution — without delay.

What Comes After Detox?

Completing the UROD procedure is only the first — but extremely important — step in the addiction treatment process. Although physical dependence can be broken in a short period, long-term success depends on continued care through post-detox support and comprehensive psychological rehabilitation.

Stabilisation and Recovery

After the body has been cleared of opiates, the next goal is to achieve internal balance and maintain stability. At the MedTiM clinic, patients are provided with a range of measures that support ongoing recovery, including:

This phase is crucial for strengthening the body and preparing for the psychological part of the treatment.

Psychological Support

Eliminating physical dependence does not mean resolving the underlying causes that led to it. That’s why it is essential for the patient to continue psychological work after detoxification. At MedTiM, patients are encouraged to:

Psychological support helps patients understand the roots of their addiction, recognise high-risk situations, and develop resilience to stress and emotional triggers.

Family Consultations

Addiction treatment involves not only the individual but also their immediate environment. That’s why MedTiM offers dedicated support programmes for families — through counselling centres, educational sessions, and consultations.

The aim of these activities is to help family members learn how to provide appropriate support, recognise changes, and become actively involved in the recovery process.

A healthy family environment plays a key role in maintaining progress and reducing the risk of relapse.
