The order of the stages is not a formality: each one depends on the one before it. Trying to start somewhere in the middle is the most common reason treatment elsewhere did not work.
The request we hear most often is: “we have already done the detox ourselves, just take them straight onto the programme”. Sometimes that is exactly what has happened. Far more often the withdrawal has been taken off the person and nothing at all is known about their health, so they spend the first week of the programme too unwell to do any work with a psychologist.
The opposite mistake is just as common: to carry out a detox and stop there. The physical state has been dealt with, the thinking has not changed — and the person comes home exactly as they left, only healthier.
Free, anonymous and available around the clock. We establish what is happening, how long it has been going on, whether the person themselves is ready, and who in the family is actually able to act.
If the person refuses, a motivational psychologist steps in. We do not bring anyone here by force: a patient delivered against their will leaves the centre at the first opportunity.
We gather information about the person's health and any co-occurring conditions. We only run tests if the person agrees. Everything that follows depends on this.
Clearing the substance from the body and preparing for therapy. The aim of this stage is not to “cure” anything but to get the person well enough to think and talk clearly.
A psychotherapeutic process with elements of the twelve steps: individual and group sessions, work on denial, and the recovery of feeling and behaviour.
A supported return to ordinary life, together with work with the family. It is the first months at home that decide whether the result holds.

Good afternoon, this comment is for parents and relatives who are experiencing family problems! My daughter went through rehabilitation at this center, and she's finally sober and happy. I was desperate and didn't know where to turn. Miraculously, I found out about this place. My daughter went there herself and completed the full course of rehabilitation. The center is open and there's no moral pressure. They treat us with love and care, and they've really helped me and many other parents understand their children better! I'm eternally grateful to you, you've changed our lives and done what others couldn't do!!!
I want to express my deepest gratitude: my friend has already been clean for a year. With the help of this Rehabilitation Center, he began to recover and is now getting his life back on track. Using the knowledge and skills he gained at the Istok Center, he is trying to resolve his current problems and worries and is even helping others do the same! Thank you for opening his eyes and giving him a choice about the life he wants to live. Thank you for that!
A very good center!!! Thanks to the staff and the director of the rehab center, I have completely changed my life after twenty years of severe drug use. My family and I are so grateful that there are people like you who can show us the right path and, most importantly, support us when we think we're lost. I recommend it to everyone!!! All you need is a sincere desire, and the rehab center staff will help you with the rest.
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.
