Rapid opioid detoxification procedures are provided which include sedating a patient with a rapid-acting, safely reversible intravenous anesthetic agent having a very short full recovery period. The patient is administered an opioid antagonist while sedated and can be revived to an ambulatory condition within eight hours of initiating therapy. The described methods for detoxification can be used with dually-addicted patients who have abused opiates, such as heroin, as well as benzodiazepines. Even with these dually-addicted patients, the process is completely reversible early on in the procedure if any adverse complications arise.
