A neurostimulation device capable of being placed between an active stimulation state and an inactive stimulation state and method of using same. The neurostimulation device comprises a plurality of electrical terminals configured for being respectively coupled to a plurality of stimulation electrodes, a first solid-state switching device coupled to a first one of the electrical terminals, a variable power source coupled to the first switching device, and a controller configured for, when the neurostimulation device is in the inactive stimulation state, prompting the variable power source to selectively output a relatively low voltage to place the first switching device into a first open state and a relatively high voltage to place the first switching device into a second open state.
