A look from the inside. I want to appeal specifically to exhausted relatives, and to those who use and have a real desire to overcome it... Don’t waste your time on such treatment, it’s useless. I say this as a person who has almost twenty years of severe addiction behind him, Methadone, heroin, etc. I haven’t used it for several years. Now I live happily, have a family, children, and have my own successful business. Life has changed dramatically. My experience: I’ve been to this wonderful establishment six times. I can't say anything good. I don’t know what’s happening there now, but I heard that little has changed, unfortunately. I remember hours-long queues from early morning, then search, examination, and, if I’m lucky, hospitalization. And if you’re unlucky, they’ll say there’s no room. And again all over again. You need to go through seven circles of hell to get into this hole. There, in line, drug addicts make new acquaintances and run to chip in on drugs, for example. If you want to get around this, there is paid hospitalization. The prices are simply out of this world. It's just funny. For this homeless place they charge exactly the same amount per day as for a clinic like Bekhterev and the Influenza Research Institute. If you have money, go there. Better than the Influenza Research Institute. Paid treatment differs only in a separate room, with more comfortable conditions, but it also leaves far from the best impressions. If the patient endures rehabilitation and goes through it to the end, then there will be a chance... Not a guarantee, but a chance, unfortunately. The conditions there are a little better, but few people manage to complete it to the end. I know several people personally who actually quit after going through it. And I know those who after it went off the rails after a few years... Statistics - three out of a hundred people finally give up, no more. If you have money, put your relatives in paid rehabilitation. But only 12 steps! Read reviews. There are a lot of such rehab centers. I recommend, for example, Veles, or Bekhterev, the Influenza Research Institute, etc. I was everywhere, in the end I quit myself, the experience of the 12-step center helped, and a long-term departure to another city. You definitely need family support and a complete change in your social circle, work! Now I look back and understand that those few people I know abandoned me just like that. And everyone, of course, had the experience of lying in HDD 10-20 times. Now I understand that this is completely pointless. In the GNB they go to reduce the dose and continue to use it on the first day. They are waiting for this and counting every day they have left until discharge. It is a fact. There they acquire new co-consumers, connections in the circle of hucksters, etc. Advice to relatives, if you want to get a real chance, and not waste time and nerves, then there is only one way out - rehabilitation. Any. The main thing is that the person stays there for at least six months. And preferably in another city altogether. Search, the Internet will help you. The price, about 40-80 thousand per month, is unaffordable for many. But it is cheaper than the life of a relative. In some places they make concessions, and you can agree to pay 20-30 thousand. If you don’t have the money, take it away. As far as possible. Grandmothers, relatives, a village, another city, anything, just further away from here, and for a year, no less. Then, immediately work, another social circle. It distracts and helps. What can I say specifically about HDD: I won’t name names. The information is old, but this is my experience. One of my stays there ended in intensive care. There are no normal medications. For several nights I was so sick that I was tied to the bed in a semi-conscious state at night, because I couldn’t even calm my limbs from the wild pain. Then they overfed me with Clonidine to such an extent that my blood pressure dropped to critical levels and there was almost no pulse. I lost consciousness. Nobody was watching us at all. In many departments the doctor is seen only once, during hospitalization. Medical staff are only visible when distributing pills. There are about 20 people around, in the same state of an endlessly smoking or sleeping plant. If, quite by accident, my roommates had not miraculously discovered that I was already white and unconscious, or if this had happened, for example, at night, I would have simply died quietly. But I must say, they reacted quickly, got scared, and started fussing. They took her to the intensive care unit, fortunately she was there, and pumped her out. Thank you. Relatives were, naturally, not informed. Well, God bless him. Doctors... There are wonderful people. Understanding and sympathetic. But mostly, they are completely soulless, indifferent people, working off their salaries with a straight face. There will be some interest in you, only on a paid basis. But! I repeat! This homeless guy is not worth the money they are asking for. If you pay for detox - only in private clinics! The difference in impressions is colossal, but the price is the same. May strength and patience be with you! All the best and sobriety!
