The most common mistake a family makes is to choose one procedure and wait for it to deliver a result. None of the methods below treats addiction on its own: they relieve the state and buy time for the main work.
Treatment for drug addiction works in stages, and the stages only work together. The reason is simple: carelessness at any one of them cancels out everything achieved before it. A person who has been brought through the physical state and sent home goes back to using not because “the treatment was poor”, but because the treatment ended there.
That is why psychological support has to run alongside any procedure — it builds the motivation without which every other method is only an expensive delay.
It is not only psychologists who work here, but the family too: relatives are prepared in advance and shown how to behave with the person, how to support them, and how not to feed the illness with their own hands.
Many people believe that detox alone can cure. But once the body is clean, the person is left with the same beliefs and the same reactions that brought them to using — and those are exactly what take them back. So alongside the medication there is work on thinking, and on bringing the person back into ordinary life.
For the duration of this work the person is kept apart — from the substance and from their usual surroundings. A motivational psychologist works with them, preparing them for the programme ahead. This works effectively in a residential setting, under supervision.
Below are the methods used in the medical part of treatment. Look at them for what they are — supporting tools.
Whichever method is chosen, the person will still have to be admitted to a residential centre. Not because it is more convenient for the centre, but because the key condition cannot be met at home: no access to the substance during the period when the person is not yet able to refuse it.
No. A blocker works as insurance after detox, but it does not change the reasons the person was using. Without work on thinking, the implant’s effect simply runs out — and everything comes back.
Drips clear the poisoning. The denial, the habit of blunting anxiety with a substance and the old surroundings are all left exactly as they were.

I, Andrey, am now a former drug addict. My entire family struggled with this disease for a long time, but it kept coming back, and I started using again. I completed a rehabilitation course at the ISTOK Center. The center offered classes on specialized rehabilitation methods for addicts. The management and staff were positive and responsive, and everything contributed to my treatment and recovery. The center has a home-like atmosphere. Everything is thought out and calculated so that the addict can truly reflect on their problem and make the right choice, quitting alcohol and drugs. I recommend the ISTOK Center to anyone facing addiction and wanting to change their life for the better by making the right choice. Thank you again for your hard and necessary work and for instilling faith in people.
My name is Sergey, I live in Kharkiv, and I'm 39 years old. Alcohol abuse has been a long-standing problem for me. Recently, I've also become addicted to drugs. I couldn't quit on my own, not the first time, not even the hundredth time. Unfortunately, changing my life for the better was beyond my power. Based on reviews and advice from a friend who had already gone through a similar journey, I learned about the Istok rehabilitation center. The Istok rehabilitation center has restored me to a normal, active, social, and positive life! It has excellent conditions, knowledgeable staff, and the most professional and qualified addiction specialists and psychologists. Here I learned that alcohol addiction is a terrible disease, but by following certain rules, you can live a full life and never return to this addiction. With the help of this center, I returned to my family and work. Thank you so much for my life!
Hello. I'm Marina, 28 years old, and I live in Kyiv. I've had problems with drug use for a long time. I tried to quit, but all my attempts were unsuccessful. Finally, I decided to seek help, and I received genuine, professional, high-quality help, with care and support at the Istok Rehabilitation Center. This center is a godsend for alcohol and drug addicts. Excellent living conditions, qualified staff, and psychologists specializing in addiction. I was told that addiction is incurable, but it's possible to live happily with it; you just need to adopt new principles. Thanks to this center, I overcame all my problems. This is the center you should trust...
The consultation is free and anonymous. It is usually the family who call first rather than the person with the addiction — that is normal, and most recovery stories begin exactly there.
