Just my 2 cents.. but i've known 4 people to go through UROD over the past many years, and out of those 4, none of them made it to the 2-year mark without going back on opiates/opioids for various reasons. They described the UROD treatment as 'he11ish' and not something they'd wish upon anyone. It sounds like a great idea in theory but when applied to humans, it tends to have serious probems. It'd be one thing if all the UROD patients were given naltrexone implants but everyone i've known has been given the pills to take, and eventually they all quit taking them and slowly returned to the pain meds. I, too, question that 60% number. How far out on the timeline was that 60%? Until they develop a UROD for behavior then this is still going to be very problematic. The procedure is improving in safety but it's still far from infallable. Do a google search for "UROD" and "Dr. Gooberman" (or just Gooberman, more results I see..) for some info on the darker side of UROD.. Good luck to anyone thinking about this one. It's never an easy decision when you're chosing between the lesser of 2 evils. And something to think about -- folks I know who have gone thru both UROD and regular w/d have described it to me as this: UROD was almost like being given something instead of earning it. It's much harder to forget a prolonged w/d that you endured, and not want to repeat it, than a seemingly simple, yet expensive, quick fix.
