Drug addiction is curable, the method works. Addiction treatment in the center of Dr. Vasylenko.

- Sessions have become harsh, even prohibitively harsh. Patients are consciously brought to ante-psychotic states. Profound changes of consciousness take place in which the psychological block becomes so persistent that does not disappear even years, decades later. But most importantly, the method is effective and we really can cure and prove that addiction is treatable. There always were and will be former drug addicts. For us it is a real disaster when a patient relapses or dies. This accident is something exceptional, unlike in other centers, where exceptional is when the patients quit drugs. Constant recurrence, constant relapse is normal. We have a completely different approach. The patient should leave and live in a sober world.

- Patients that come to us tend to have a lot of comorbidities. They may be latent or already in the advanced stage. The therapist's task is to identify these diseases, cure them or at least improve the physical condition of the patient. The patients must leave the center in a better physical condition than when they arrived.

- When people come to us with hope to get rid of drug addiction, a simple deliverance of physical addiction is just the beginning. And what I do – is the deliverance of psychological dependence, psychological correction, and individual work. In our center we pay a lot of attention to the psychological work. And we can watch how eyes become lighter and thoughts brighten, we watch how a person becomes active and cheerful. Such optimistic prognosis allows you to plan your life confidently and build your life as healthy people. They don’t need a drug in their life.

- Until I started working in this center I had another attitude to drug addicts, but here I was convinced that people can be not stupid, but interesting guys. There are even gifted guys among them. The only waffle thing is a drug. It is like if a demon seized them, and they lose themselves. But, when they release and disclose, we try to treat them friendly and understanding. And they respond with warm and friendly attitude.

- Almost all patients of our center need neurological care. And we use unconventional methods along with conventional treatment. Such methods as acupuncture, which helps our patients to improve their sleep, mood, reduce pain, relieve withdrawal symptoms; hirudotherapy removes general intoxication, helps to relieve thrombophlebitis swellings on legs and hands; manual therapy removes pain in the spine and joints; laser therapy; ozone therapy. Infrared sauna is also intended to relieve intoxication during early days of admission; cryosauna is used for tempering. These and many other methods we use in our work with patients as quickly as possible, it makes it easier to recover.

- I think it's very important to help our guys to get rid of guilt, shame, humiliation. And on the contrary to help them acquire a confident view on their lives, and create the inner feeling that "I'm done" and that "I can do it". I believe that every person has inner strength that will help to get rid of the problem.

- I don’t see drug addicts among our patients. I see people with their individual problems, who just need understanding like others; they need acceptance, emotional support, and personal growth. And it is the main part of my job. Well, the feeling of belonging to a miracle gives strength to work. It happens when more and more patients get out of this hole and return to normal, real life.

- The uniqueness of our method lies in the fact that we can eliminate the craving with the patient’s consent. After the treatment people really become free from their dependence, moreover, the attitude towards the drug changes from "+" to "-". A persons starts to perceive the drug and all connected with it as the worst thing that happened to him in his life. We have many cases when the patients did not know the language. They were treated with the help of an interpreter. The results confirmed our expectations. One can get rid of drug addiction, if he wants it. One gets a psychotherapeutic effect on non-verbal level and also through an interpreter.

- Recently there appeared a problem, which, I believe, is also an addiction – it is gambling. We see it constantly. There is a positive experience in the treatment of gambling addiction in our center. The treatment of gambling is no less long or severe than drug addiction treatment, but the results are positive.

- The desire to get rid of dependence is enough to win. You're much stronger, the miracle is inside of you and you can handle alcohol, drugs, gambling, anything.
