Who are the patients of the clinic?
People of all age and trades see us: pensioners, office employees, workers, students. They belong to various layers of our society. More person is known, more he tries to hide his weaknesses and the fact of treatment. At this point, we offer our patients confidential conditions.
Is alcoholic and narcotic addiction a result of genetic predisposition?
The risk of development of alcohol and drug addiction in 70-80 % of cases is determined by genetic factors. It gives us the right to speak about predisposition, but not about inevitability. Everyone disposes himself of his genetic inheritance. Free will of person is the mighty tool received by everyone from his founder.
What methods of treatment do you use?
We have enough methods of treatment of metabolic disorders which occur in our patients. The program of termination of drinking bouts, removal of “withdrawal pains” in addicts: ozone therapy, biological resonance therapy, sauna, preparations long blocking action of drugs – we have all this in our clinic. But all this is treatment of body and it’s only part of our work. Restoration of stable state of mind, capable to perceive life trials without drugs is necessary. Our psychologists, using modern methods of psychotecnique train patients to control their own mental state, to remove internal pressure.
In view of received anamnesis, the program of treatment is worked out for each patient consisting of three stages:
1. Stage –preparation and realization of detoxication.
2. Stage of recovery therapy of organs and systems.
3. Stage of psychocorrection.. Our psychologists, using time-proved methods (psychoanalysis, gestalt-therapy, rebirthing etc.) work out in patients set to live without stimulators.
What is the probability of addiction deliverance after course of treatment?
It is possible to cure body within a week. Complexity is in elimination of mental addiction. The first stage to deliver problem – is to be aware of it. It is necessary that person understand for himself - I am addict. Then, our experts will help to come to the decision to get rid completely of alcohol and drugs.
Not all patients can afford full course of in-patient and out-patient treatment. In such cases it is impossible to exclude completely an opportunity of occurrence of compulsive thirst for alcohol or drug. We suggest such patients to apply alcohol or drug blockers which neutralize action of drugs for some period.
From our practice in 24 % of patients treated in our clinic, remission over one year is observed. In comparison with common statistics given by World Health Organization (8-12 %), it is quite good.
Is it possible treatment in-home?
If the state of the patient is not critical also does not require constant medical control, in some cases assistance in-home is possible. If we talk about high quality treatment - not. Many medicines can be taken only under direct supervision of the doctor, and far from all procedures can be done in-home.
Is it possible to mark out the problem of women’s alcohol and drug addiction and what are its particularities?
Women’s alcoholism is the phenomenon, which common public knows little, and consequently a lot of myths arise around it. Women faster become alcohol addict. Female organism destroys faster under influence of big dozes of alcoholic drinks. However, in a whole, the mechanism of disease development is identical, as well as the mechanism of treatment.
The main complexity is that the woman herself seldom consults the experts. Woman tries to hide her addiction from surrounding till last moment. It would be necessary to note that those women who have anyhow had recourse, could not only get rid of alcohol addiction, but also started to take pleasure of life.
Problem of child alcohol and drug addiction. What can alert parents in child’s behavior?
Alcoholism develops mainly in adults. However, since the end of XX century, physicians and teachers have noted the tendency to "rejuvenation" of alcoholism up to occurrence of its symptoms in childhood. In many respects it is caused by social factors, falling of spirituality in the society, problems of mutual relations in family and genetic predisposition. First of all, parents should pay attention to changes in behavior of the child which can be "signals" of danger.
