title: [Therapeutical potentialities of rapid opioid detoxification].
abstract: The influences of rapid detoxification (RD) versus the routine approach to abolishing the withdrawal syndrome on the clinical manifestations of opioid dependence were evaluated. The use of RD revealed a therapeutical dissociation: its effective influence on somatoneurological manifestations of the withdrawal syndrome and its very insignificant impact on mental disorders, including drug addiction. It is concluded that RS is a modern and promising method to arrest the opioid withdrawal syndrome, which is alternative to other therapeutical approaches, but inadequate to treat drug addiction.
