When withdrawal becomes the biggest barrier
Common experiences described by patients. OpiEase may offer an alternative worth discussing with your provider.
I feel restless and can't sit still.
My body aches everywhere and I can't think straight.
I want to get help, but I'm afraid of what I'll have to go through.
I tried before, but the discomfort was just too much.
Why standard treatments can fall short
The gaps patients and providers describe most often — friction points that delay or derail the start of treatment.
Persistent discomfort during the early phase
Incomplete or inconsistent symptom relief
Difficulty tolerating withdrawal symptoms long enough to begin further treatment
Anxiety and stress about starting the process
A different approach
Delivers gentle electrical signals through specific nerve branches in the outer ear, including the vagus nerve, that are connected to pathways involved in physical stress and discomfort responses
Medication-free and non-addictive — does not cause sedation
Non-surgical and minimally invasive — four tiny microneedles placed on the outer ear
Simple, brief in-office placement without anesthesia or sedation
What patients commonly report
Rapidly and significantly reduced withdrawal symptoms (often within 20-60 minutes)
Made the beginning of recovery treatment easier to tolerate
Helped patients transition into ongoing care and treatment
Significantly decreased Clinical Opioid Withdrawal Scale (COWS) scores
