Coding for alcoholism

One of the popular methods of treating alcoholism, which is used in our country and many others, is coding. This is conventionally called the method of influencing the patient’s body, which forms a persistent aversion or indifference to drinking alcohol, a subconscious attitude to refuse alcohol.

Alcoholism is the most common substance-related chronic disease in the world. The disease brings many complications in the work of all human organs, but most of all lesions are inflicted on the nervous system and especially the brain. The ability to think, control one’s behavior and psyche in alcoholism is significantly impaired.

The whole point of alcohol addiction is a constant and irresistible desire to consume alcohol. There are many methods and ways to deal with alcoholism. Drug treatment is aimed at detoxification and elimination of alcohol in the blood, which adversely affects the body. Very often it is used to prepare the body and subsequent coding for alcoholism. But this method of healing from alcohol addiction has certain features.

What is alcoholism

Alcohol is a powerful antidepressant and psychostimulant that gives a false sense of relaxation and escape from problems, improves mood and temporarily eliminates stress. Therefore, many people resort to taking it to “relax”, relax and “relieve stress”. But this is a deceptive feeling; in reality, alcohol negatively affects the body and forms dependence on it from the nervous system and psyche.

Alcoholism is a social disease, extremely harmful, destroying “pleasure”, but more and more people are becoming addicted to it.

Do you feel like you drink moderately on the weekends and only occasionally miss work because of a hangover and feeling unwell? This is an indicator of psychological addiction – the only difference is at what stage the addiction is.

People who take alcohol have different personalities, so there are many ways to get rid of addiction. Some say they can control themselves and do well for a short period of time fighting alcoholism, but others break the rules and suffer for the rest of their lives. Why? Apparently, this depends not only on motivation, but also on the environment and additional factors, personality traits, age and additional influences. Therefore, narcologists offer coding to patients as one of the treatment options.

Coding methods for alcoholism

Alcoholism coding can only be done with the consent of the patient. And in this process, a person must hold out for 5 days (or more, depending on the method and center) in a state of sobriety. If a person is in the stage of alcoholic binge, when his body abruptly stops drinking, withdrawal occurs (or, more simply, “withdrawal”), it is very difficult to give up alcohol and, perhaps, it is even dangerous for the patient himself. And often, before undergoing coding for alcoholism, the body is detoxified with drugs (an alcoholic is given a dropper, they are first brought to their senses, improve their health, and remove intoxication). At this stage, treatment is very important for support, improvement of well-being and belief in the need for treatment.

There are several ways to code for alcoholism:

• medicines;
• psychotherapy;
• hypnosis;
• hardware methods.

Coding a patient with pharmacological drugs for alcoholism can only be carried out by a doctor, by introducing toxicotherapy drugs into the patient’s body. The type and method of administration is selected by the narcologist individually for each patient. The disadvantage of this method of coding for alcoholism is its high cost, but its instant effectiveness is considered a plus.

Coding for alcoholism is also possible based on hypnosis sessions. The patient is instilled with an aversion to alcohol and a refusal to take it. Thus, it can be carried out both individually and in group classes. Hypnosis techniques are varied, but the copyright for their methods belongs to each individual specialist. Clinics and doctors use the most proven and effective methods in their work.

Coding alcoholism with the help of psychotherapy is an impact on the mental perception of a person. Today, author’s methods of psychotherapy are widespread. The treatment has one drawback – the duration of therapy. But it is quite effective if completed the full course.

Coding alcoholism with the help of physiotherapy is carried out by electrical impulses, lasers and other methods. They act on certain areas of the brain, forming new neural connections that weaken and suppress the mental and physical dependence on alcohol.

There are many ways to recover from alcohol addiction, you can choose any of them, the main condition for treatment is the desire of the patient.

Where is alcoholism coding done?

There are many coding methods that can help stop the development of alcoholism by breaking the addiction, but not all methods are effective and affordable for patients.

Medical, pharmacological interventions are carried out only in the clinic. A person thinks that a medicine has been injected or sewn into his body: often this works, but the quality is doubtful. In this case, a person fears serious harm to their health or even death, which can happen if they drink alcohol again. All this time the person suffers and cannot wait for the code to expire.

The psychotherapeutic method works differently – at the time of the session, hypnosis is used, which reprograms the human brain and instills in it an addiction to sobriety. In both cases, a person is subject to psychological influence. In the first case, placebo and fear play a role, in the second, the psychocode helps to form a certain psychological barrier that a person cannot overcome, and helps to stop drinking. The technique is also carried out in the clinic, less often it is practiced at home.

Medical institutions

Only clinics licensed for this type of activity with the direction of work – psychiatry-narcology can be engaged in the treatment of alcoholism and rehabilitation of the patient after complications, perform detox measures (elimination of withdrawal symptoms). These can be state and non-state (private) clinics. Privately practicing doctors can also conduct treatment, having a license for this type of activity, but basically these are non-drug methods. Treatment can be inpatient, outpatient and rehabilitation.

Home visits

Similar to clinic appointments and hospitalizations, home visits can only be carried out by clinics licensed for this type of activity with the direction of work – psychiatry-narcology.

Prices

The cost of services depends on the region (in Moscow and St. Petersburg it is higher), on the treatment option, the need to remove the withdrawal syndrome, hospitalization, additional treatment and subsequent rehabilitation. Unfortunately, these services are not cheap; under the CHI policy, you can get help to a limited extent and only in state drug treatment clinics.
