Jessica's op**te story
"Coming to find out about Dr. O’Neil's implant was the result of total desperation. I was using 2+ grams of he**in daily and every second of my life was miserable. I didn’t look forward to anything, my entire existence revolved around my dealer.
I had tried oral naltrexone in the past but I simply diverted it and lacked the motivation and will power at the time to take my medication instead of using. Later, I tried the Vivitrol one month injection with some success but quickly discovered it wore off about a week to a week and a half early. My cravings would return and during that last week I would end up on a bender of sorts.
I started doing research with my mom and we found out about Dr. O’Neil. I read about his implant, called the OLANI that claimed to last a year. This seemed to be the best option for me. I wanted to feel protected for more then 3 weeks.
Much to our disappointment we found out that the OLANI implant was not available in the USA. My mom found a number for Debinge. The next week we were on a plane, and I had my implant the following day. Within 24 hours I noticed that I had absolutely zero cravings. The doctor who performed the procedure was very skilled and I healed very quickly. I returned home and started to rebuild my life. With every other implant or shot or pill I had taken in the past I would end up using, successfully, about halfway through. I really expected to experience a recurrence in cravings after 6 months based on my experience with other naltrexone products. However, that was not the case.
I celebrated a year of sobriety with a second implant from Debinge. I have noticed so many positive effects that I can’t attribute to anything other then the implant. My mood was uplifted, I didn’t have that deep sense of longing for op**tes anymore. I truly felt free, and I felt hope. There was no clinic to visit every day, week or month. I was simply just ok. I was and still am happy. I am now two years out from using he**in. I feel stronger than I’ve felt in the past and I’ve been able to make progress in my life and pursue my goals. I believe in this product and I wish it was easier to access in the United States. Currently clinical trials are taking place, which is great but I can’t help but wonder how many people will loose their battle with addiction while those trials are being completed."
