Review about the treatment in the center

Alexander

47 years

Ukraine, Dnepropetrovsk

- Actually I am from Dnepropetrovsk and came across with this problem in Dnepropetrovsk. I finished college and went to Minsk. I am 47 years old.

 

- How long have you been using drugs?

– Since my third year of college. If now I am 47, and I have been sober for 10 years, it means I was using drugs until 37. About 20 years.

 

- What made you to go for treatment?

- What made me? Well, it was thanks to my friend’s mother and her activity. Her relatives lived here in Zaporozhe. She brought her son for treatment. We met when he returned to Minsk. We were sitting in the car and I asked him: “Vova, are you cured now?” He said he felt an awful disgust to drugs. I shot some heroin, and he said he didn’t want it; he received the best treatment ever. So I decided to go there, too. The result is obvious.

 

- Did something happen? Something bad, that made you decide to go for treatment?

- I don’t know about others, but I always wanted to do it ... and I think all addicts when they feel high dream about quitting. ALL of them. Anyway among my friends – they all wanted to quit. And only when things got bad, all they could think about was another dose. A lot of my friends are dead now, though there were not so many of them. I did not face crimes; I tried to stay away from them. Someone “quitted” and lies in the grave... I had a friend; he died soon after graduation... This treatment is very successful.

 

- Sasha, you say that your friends from Belarus are here. About 5 people?

- Yes, there are 5 people here now. They all came in different time, and one girl died. Incidentally, when I was here on rehab, when I came here, we were walking along the road and there was a cat on the grass... And then Vitaly Ivanovich came and the doctors were discussing that someone died. I didn’t believe at first. But in fact, Anya died. She was here twice: after the first treatment she relapsed, then returned for the second treatment. She died in a week after the discharge. And it is absolutely true.

 

- Sasha, did you have hard times after treatment? How did you adapt to a sober life?

– Actually I had a marvelous time. I began to see colors; the life immediately became so bright. I began noticing people and neighbors. I came to Minsk and looked at life in different way. Somehow I went through it very easily.

 

– Do you have work now?

- I have a job, fortunately, I have always had it. I have my small business and my companion knew about my problems and tried to help, so it was a bit easier for me than for others. I always had work. I have never been unemployed, although I had a very difficult time when there was no money. Other addicts understand how I had to find the money for drugs, messing with all those "dirt", apartments, police - all this madness.

 

– How is your personal life?

– Everything is all right, I have a wife and two children of 15 and 22 years old, two boys. One is finishing the University, the other one is finishing school.

 

- What can be compared with your past freaky life?

- If there was an opportunity to come to this hospital earlier, it would be great. Now I have another problem – there are no veins, I need to do a blood test, and there are no veins. I want to donate blood in a normal clinic, but I hesitate to go there. I come to the private clinic and they can’t find them to insert a needle. There are other problems, you know. Protect your veins.

 

- Still many people wonder what happened to your relations with people who don’t want to quit after your discharge.

- I'm completely over with all my previous relations. They do not want to quit, I do not want to see them. If before I thought there would be a lot of junkies around me, now I see no one. On the contrary - all people around me are normal. All the guys who want to recover - be glad that we’ve got Vitaly Ivanovich. Do not miss this chance and everything will be all right.

    I’m the one of those mothers who have gone through the most terrible tragedy - the junkie son. I have lost hope of recovery and got only emptiness, sadness and longing because of despair. Nevertheless, who believes and wants to pull out own child from the deep pool of drug, will find a way out from the difficult situation. In our case, we saw that way, when read an article “Drug addiction is curable” in the “Komsomolka” newspaper. Immediately we went to the Zaporizhzhya city, hospital №1, to the Dr. Vasilenko, who was mentioned in that article.

    My name is Ivan Ivanovich, I was addicted to drugs one and a half year ago. I was treated in many institutions, but nothing could help me. I found out about this unique method from a friend of mine, he underwent the treatment by Vitaliy Ivanovich. I immediately called to the center. My wife and I arrived to the institution and I was struck by the attitude of medical staff, they were like sisters, and I got so much sympathy to my illness. I believe that addiction is a disease, but only here I convinced that it could be cured. Thanks to Vitaliy Ivanovich I lost carving and I don’t want to hear anything about drugs and alcohol.

    With gratitude. I would like to mention a few points, such as strong energy which is emanating from Vitaliy Ivanovich - it is initially gives a confidence and disposes for a positive result; the harmonious work of the entire staff - in my opinion, is a very important moment, as your own attitude. It looks like I get back to the state when I don’t know what the drug is, but at the same time I clearly have an understanding that it is evil. It gives the confidence and makes me think positively. Conclusion: I’ve got a REAL result. Thank you. Maksim.

    My name is Sergey. I came to the clinic of Dr. Vasilenko with the aim to stop using drugs. I was in a bad condition. I thought I fell to the bottom. I had disgust for drugs, but I continued to use at home, because I was afraid of physical withdrawal. I couldn’t solve any common deals without drugs, I was ashamed to look into people's eyes, I had lots of other complexes. The main thing is that I treated badly to my mother, I realized it only here. The first week was hard, in a moral and in a physical ways, but it was easier than it was at home.
