THE BRIDGE DEVICE.
An FDA-approved device that helps with the withdrawal pain and associated symptoms for opiate (heroin) and opioid (oxycontin, methadone, suboxone) addicts.
The BRIDGE Device significantly reduces the physical symptoms of opioid withdrawal.
Through the opiate withdrawal process, pain can be debilitating and in some cases, a major deterrent to detox. The BRIDGE Device is a gentle neurostimulation system (NSS) device that combines the latest cutting-edge micro technology with Innovative Health Solutions software. The battery-operated peripheral nerve stimulator device fits discreetly behind the ear and sends gentle electrical impulses directly into the brain, blocking pain signals.
HOW DOES THE BRIDGE DEVICE WORK?
It typically takes 15 minutes for our team to fit The BRIDGE Device behind the patient’s ear and to correctly place the needle arrays at specific points on the earlobe. Acute pain associated with drug withdrawal typically begins to diminish in less than one hour once nerves start receiving therapeutic neuromodulating signals from the device.
From there, the patient will wear the device for a 4-5 day period — during the worst of the withdrawal process. Following this 4-5 day period, the device can be safely removed.
Additional information about The BRIDGE Device:
‣ Electro-auricular device that fits behind the ear
‣ Battery-powered
‣ Sends electrical impulses to neurological pathways
‣ Effectively blocks pain signals
‣ Reduces withdrawal symptoms of opioid detox
‣ Optimal time to apply device is 24 hours after last opioid use
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DETOXING WITH THE BRIDGE DEVICE?
Over half of those who begin a cycle of opioid detox withdrawal fail and quit. The BRIDGE Device significantly diminishes that outcome and increases positive outcomes dramatically. According to GlobeNewswire, research study results of the technology show an 84.6% reduction of withdrawal symptoms in as little as 60 minutes, and most occurs within the first 15 minutes.
