What we treat at Dr Vorobjev
Alcohol addiction treatment
Loss of control over alcohol use can lead to addiction and severe withdrawal symptoms such as tremor, sweating and anxiety. The program includes detoxification, physiological stabilization and psychotherapy, with the option of a medical blockade that prevents the effects of alcohol and thereby reduces the risk of relapse.

Cocaine addiction treatment
Cocaine strongly affects the central nervous system, causing euphoria that may be followed by anxiety, insomnia and cardiovascular symptoms. Treatment includes detoxification, stabilization of the cardiovascular system and cognitive behavioral therapy focused on patterns that can lead to renewed use.

Opioid addiction treatment
Dependence on heroin, methadone, morphine and other opioids can be accompanied by a severe withdrawal crisis. At our substance abuse treatment center, this phase is managed under anesthesiologist supervision, often using ultra-rapid opioid detoxification (UROD), so the patient passes through the hardest part while asleep.

Benzodiazepine addiction treatment
Abruptly stopping medications such as Xanax, Bensedin or Lyrica can be dangerous and may trigger seizures. For this reason, benzodiazepine withdrawal is carried out gradually, with medical supervision and 24-hour monitoring of vital parameters.

Marijuana addiction treatment
Long-term marijuana use can lead to psychological dependence, lower motivation and problems with memory and concentration. The treatment program includes psychotherapy aimed at rebuilding everyday routines and supporting a return to normal functioning.

Gambling addiction treatment
Treatment for gambling addiction includes behavioral therapy focused on patterns that lead to repeated betting, work on financial and family consequences, and family involvement in the recovery process to help prevent relapse.

Consultation with the professional team
Everything begins with a conversation, not with payment or arrival at the clinic. The patient or a family member can contact our advisors by phone, WhatsApp, Viber or online chat at any time of day. The purpose is to clarify the type of addiction, how long it has lasted and the person’s current condition. Only then does our center for addiction treatment recommend the next steps.
- We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week by phone, WhatsApp, Viber or website chat.
- The consultation is free, anonymous and does not create any obligation.
- If the family decides on admission, we then schedule the exact arrival date and explain what to bring.
Diagnostics and an individual treatment plan
After arrival and before any therapy begins, the patient undergoes complete diagnostics. Physical health is evaluated through blood tests, ECG and examination of internal organs, while a psychologist performs a psychodiagnostic assessment of depression, anxiety and general personality functioning. Once the results are available, the medical team creates an individual treatment plan instead of applying the same template to everyone.
- Findings determine the type and pace of detoxification — whether ultra-rapid opioid detoxification (UROD) is appropriate or a more gradual medication withdrawal is needed.
- A psychiatrist assesses whether accompanying disorders such as depression or anxiety should be treated in parallel.
- The results also help determine the approximate length of stay, usually between 10 and 28 days.
Detoxification — the main phase
This is the stage patients often fear most, which is why it is carefully planned. With appropriate medicines and medical equipment, the withdrawal crisis is managed without pain, most often while the patient sleeps. For opioid dependence we may use UROD, while alcohol and benzodiazepine doses are reduced gradually under continuous supervision by anesthesiologists and nurses. As a residential addiction treatment center, the clinic can monitor patients throughout this phase.
- Toxins are removed from the body within 1 to 3 days.
- Vital parameters — blood pressure, pulse and oxygen saturation are monitored 24 hours a day.
- After this stage, the total rehabilitation period is shortened to two to four weeks.
Psychotherapy and psychological stabilization
Physical detoxification addresses the body but not the reasons a person began using a substance. That is why treatment continues with psychologists and psychiatrists. Through individual and group sessions, patients identify triggers such as stress, relationships or trauma and learn healthier ways to respond. When needed, additional regenerative procedures may be included, such as plasmapheresis, laser blood cleansing or neurometabolic therapy.
- Sessions are both individual and group-based, and support from other patients going through a similar process can be helpful.
- Therapy focuses on concrete situations and triggers that could cause cravings after the patient returns home.
- Whenever possible, the family is involved in part of the process because its support directly affects recovery.
Post-treatment support and relapse prevention
Leaving the clinic successfully does not end our responsibility. This is often the period when relapse risk is highest because the patient returns to the everyday environment associated with the addiction. Each patient therefore receives a plan of monthly follow-up visits for one year, during which health status is monitored and therapy is adjusted if necessary. For alcohol dependence, a medical blockade may also be offered to prevent the effects of alcohol and make renewed use risky and ineffective.
- Regular check-ups once a month for 12 months after inpatient treatment.
- Emergency contact with the clinic if difficult moments or strong cravings arise.
- For gambling addiction, the family remains involved for additional monitoring and support.

Treatment includes behavioral therapy focused on patterns that lead to repeated betting, work on financial and family consequences, and family involvement to reduce relapse risk.
Yes. At our substance abuse treatment center, the methods used for medically supervised detoxification are designed to minimize pain, and only a few days are generally needed for toxins to be removed from the body.
If you experience strong cravings, withdrawal symptoms or an inability to control use despite negative consequences, it is time to consult a specialist or an addiction help center.
With appropriate treatment and commitment to recovery, it is possible to reduce the negative consequences of addiction and return to everyday responsibilities. Continued support from an addiction rehab center can also help patients maintain the progress made during treatment.
