Addiction Outpatient Treatment

Although the inpatient treatment part at Dr Vorobjev clinic is essential, it is not the end of treatment. Outpatient treatment, regular follow-ups, and post-treatment support is what keeps the achieved results and prevents relapses.

What does outpatient treatment mean?

Outpatient treatment involves 12-months support aimed at preventing relapse. During this time, the patient takes medicines prescribed by our doctors and adheres to the rules of outpatient treatment. Monthly follow-ups at our clinic are done in person, by telephone or e-mail, if necessary.

During outpatient treatment, the patient’s current state is assessed, and therapy is corrected if needed. If there is a change in mood, depression, or crisis, the patient should contact our medical team immediately to receive further advice.

Patients with Naltrexone implants should, in particular, take into account the effects of relapse, and visit the clinic as soon as the first implant expires to place the following one.

Complete treatment at our clinic may take a long time, but in the long run, in cooperation with the patient and his family, it yields excellent results.

Why is post-treatment support important?

There are several reasons why post-treatment support is important.

Primarily, it provides a stable backbone to the patient. It thus encourages the strengthening of his beliefs that he can stay healthy and return to the social environment. In this way, the patient is given hope and empowered for future challenges.

Without post-treatment support and regular follow-ups at our clinic, the patient can fall into the crisis again and come to a relapse, returning to the former condition after a visible improvement.
