The centre is outside Kyiv — in Boryspil district, the village of Petropavlivske, 1 Slyvova Street. That is about an hour's drive from the centre of the capital.
This is not a question of rent. Rehabilitation works when distance opens up between a person and their usual surroundings: the same courtyards, the same company, the same shop round the corner and the same numbers in the phone. In a city all of those triggers are ten minutes' walk away.
The centre's rules limit contact with the outside world precisely because, in the first stage, nothing is holding sobriety in place yet. Outside the city those rules are kept naturally; in a city flat they are not.
The second reason is simpler: quiet, air, space and routine. After years of substance use the body recovers faster where there is somewhere to walk out to and nobody is in a hurry.
Kyiv region, Boryspil district, village of Petropavlivske, 1 Slyvova Street. The drive from Kyiv takes about an hour, heading in the Boryspil direction.
We would not advise planning the journey blind. Ring before you set off: we will talk you through the route, tell you what condition a person can travel in and when medical help is needed first, and agree a time for your arrival.
The phones are answered around the clock: +38 (063) 632-71-17 and +38 (098) 768-08-08.
It is not only people from Kyiv who come to the centre. For a family in another region one thing matters: we also run family support remotely, by phone or video call, so the whole family does not need to keep travelling here.
It is the person with the addiction who has to come. The family joins in from wherever they live, and the support is no worse for it.

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.
