„I was getting tramadol after an accident. The pain went away, but I could not give up the drug right away. Thanks to the Vorobyov Clinic for helping me with my addiction.“
- Slavica Novakovic.
„After three years of fighting cancer, we finally won. But I remained addicted to tramadol and Z-pills. I didn’t have the strength to fight at all, I thought, if the cancer didn’t finish me off, then the addiction would. My husband put me in this clinic. I was here for three months, recovering my strength, learning to live without cancer and without drugs. Now I’m clean and I believe in a better future. Thank you!“
