But you must remember that drug addiction ...

If you want to help a person get rid of drug addiction, try to find him some more fun. If we are talking about a teenager, give him what he needs. First of all, his attention and care. Try to live in his interest, no matter how stupid and insignificant they may seem to you. And be sure to consult a specialist. - Remove dirty linen in public? - Is what tells Maria Ivanovna, the most important fate and ultimately the life of loved ones. Call any phone confidence. In our example: (095) 280-61-01. We give free advice, do not put on the account and do not require that you call their name and so on. But you must remember that drug addiction - is not a whim, is a disease. And get rid of the drug itself may, unfortunately, the unit, but the majority need a doctor. And not alone. - Well, someone decided to call you and tell you that a husband or wife - a drug addict. You can not cure, do not even talk to them. - Can not, of course. But we, along with his wife, for example, be able, if not immediately then over time find a way to persuade her husband to call itself.

In Moscow, for example, back in the 17 th and 19 th substance abuse hospitals, the Center for Addictions, where part of the cure for free, while others anonymously and paid. In the free course of treatment, unfortunately, lower returns: after leaving the hospital more than a year keeps one person out of twenty. After the toll rates, I do not take into account, of course, the charlatans of Medicine, the annual remission occurs in 30% of patients. - Why the difference? - At the state substance abuse clinics and hospitals the same problems that all medical institutions - poor funding, and hence the lack of good medicine and specialists. In private clinics it is possible with all patients to work individually. Everyone involved and psychiatrists and psychologists, and neurologists and pharmacologists, and if necessary, the specialists of "Narcotics Anonymous. In the public hospital so-called break-up, depending on the severity, shoot for 10 - 30 days. In an expensive private toll can cleanse the body of the day or two. But to win a physical dependence, whether quickly or slowly, over a very large sum of money or not - it does not mean cure.
