33 years old
Ukraine, Kiev
- Introduce yourself.
- My name is Julia, from Kiev city. I’m 33 years old. I’m a happy wife and mother of two-year-old boy. I was treated in this clinic nine years ago. I was a drug addict and my drug was pervitin. Beyond that, there were all related drugs: cocaine, heroin, opiates, and weed. It all started with light drugs, but then it switched to more complex level. For this moment, I have nine years of sobriety. After the treatment I made serum injection for one year, a year later I went back and prolonged with a capsule for another three years. The remaining five years I didn’t do anything, my mind is clear.
- How did you get to the clinic of Dr. Vasilenko?
- It was accidentally. When friends of my parents found out about this problem in our family, they read an article in the newspaper about the clinic of Dr. Vasilenko, which had an unusual treatment. They recommended it to us. In one moment, my parents decided to go, without asking my wish, they tied me up, put into a car and brought here. The first time, I accepted that I had to stay here for a while. I mean, I didn’t try to get out. I thought, I would stay here for a rest, then come back with renewed vigor and proceed to the same life. Nevertheless, on the tenth day, after the second shock therapy, something happened in my head and, day by day, thought about the drugs was disappearing. When I left this institution, I didn’t think about drugs at all. Although I had a lot of provocations. At that time I had a boyfriend, he came to the gate of the clinic. We had a conversation and I went back to my room. When I came back home, I met my “friends” near entrance. They had a solution in the pocket and said me:”It is a BOMB! You have never seen”. They were trying to seduce me. However, I did no doubt what to say. It was a clear “No”. They used to come coming to me during month and a half, and then they realized that there was no sense to continue. The most important thing that I can advise, it is necessary to stop communication with former friends and change a phone number. Share it with your parents and friends.
- Do you remember the treatment?
- Of course, I do! The first time when I got to the session… Whereas I didn’t know what clinic it is and what treatment method it uses. It was an evening and someone said: “Let’s go to the session…” – “Well, let’s go”, but when the light went out and began the session, I was terribly scared. I thought, I’d died and gone to hell, or I was in a madhouse. After two-three sessions, I got involved in a work and expected evenings. I looked at myself in a different way. It feels so uncomfortable when I remember everything what I have done. If you are crying on the session, it is good. It means that your soul is purifying and drug leaves you. It is worth every effort. Shocks erase some program…I don’t know how to say it in medical terms… I know the names of drugs, I know how to prepare them – what should be brewed, what should be sniffed and what should be ingested. Theoretically, I know, but I don’t remember how to be “high”. I don’t remember the thrill of which drug. Apparently, some program in my head was erased, which was responsible for a craving.
- How has your life changed after the treatment?
- My life has changed dramatically in a good way. It was difficult for the first few months; the most important thing is to be busy with something – to devote yourself to the child, parents, relatives and friends. If you have a job, then do your work, it is a good distraction. I found the job and after two months I made new friends, new coworkers, new interests. As the chain, one after the other, life was adjusted. I met my husband. He doesn’t know that I was here and about that problem. Everything what I had before the clinic I just crossed and flipped the page. I began my life with a white sheet. We have a baby and a good happy family. My relationship with parents was normalized too. During the last years I didn’t have any relationship with them, because I could get up at night, put on slippers and leave my home in pajamas for a week. I got a call at two o`clock in the morning: “We have a cool thing”. I got up and turned off my phone. I wasn’t care about my mother, when she didn’t sleep for days because of me. My father had a heart attack. “What are you worried about? This is my life; I’m doing what I want!” – That was my answer. All recovered: understanding, trust, and love. With a greater force. I am very grateful that they had courage and ability to take me to this clinic. A little bit of your desire and work of professional doctors - you will start a new life. It is not comparable with a previous life. You will learn to rejoice. I have learned to enjoy the usual things: a good weather, an interesting film, communication with a child. There are so many things that I should rejoice in the sober life.
- Thank you very much.
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.

Read moreMy 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.
Read moreWith 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.
Read moreMy 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.
