Addiction treatment in Ukraine
Drug addiction is a serious problem, the solution of which is addressed by specialists from all over the world, including Ukraine. But despite all the measures taken, drug addiction continues to “grow younger”, and the number of drug addicts is growing steadily. The average age of drug addicts today is less then 22 years, and only according to official statistics in Ukrainr there are more than half a million of them.
The reasons why a person tries drugs are many. And the new types of drugs that cause addiction after the first use. In a matter of months, they can cause severe mental pathologies and even lead to death.
It is practically impossible for a person suffering from addiction to get rid of it on his own. The help of qualified specialists is needed, which is enough in our country today. Drug treatment in Ukraine will be not only effective, but also costs much less than in clinics in Europe.
Why is it so difficult to get rid of drug addiction?
Most ordinary people view drug addiction as a addiction to a particular substance. And they believe that it’s enough to remove the drug so that the person recovers. But it is not so. In addiction, not only physical dependence develops, but also psychological one.
A person gets used to a constant state of joy and euphoria. And even in the absence of withdrawal after refusing drugs, he feels bad: he is anxious and depressed. Life becomes gray and boring. In order not to aggravate the condition, you need to seek help at a specialized clinic.
Drug addiction treatment in Ukraine consists of several stages. And the result is achieved thanks to the joint work of narcologists, psychiatrists and psychologists, whose task is not only to save the patient from addiction, but also to teach them to enjoy life without drugs.
