The Dovzhenko method of coding for alcoholism (Dovzhenko method) is one of the most effective methods of treating alcohol addiction developed by Soviet narcologist Alexei Dovzhenko. It involves influencing the patient’s subconscious mind to induce a persistent aversion to alcohol.
In working with a patient, a set of methods is used, including:
- psycholinguistic programming;
- therapeutic practices;
- hypnosis.
The result of the complex effect is a long-lasting aversion to alcohol. Thanks to a balanced combination of hypnosis and rational therapeutic practices, it is possible to exert a mild, non-traumatic effect on the patient’s subconscious. Thus, alcohol is excluded from the list of foods that are important for the patient, and an attitude of refusal to drink in the future and an aversion to drinking is formed.
How Dovzhenko’s method works in the treatment of alcoholism
Dovzhenko’s method involves hypnosis sessions, during which the patient is instilled with an aversion to alcohol, and a positive outlook and desire to limit restrictions are conditioned. Usually, for the treatment of alcoholism, Dovzhenko’s method involves a single visit or several sessions over several days.
An important part of Dovzhenko’s treatment is the involvement of the patient’s family and friends, who help create favorable conditions for recovery.
The Dovzhenko method of coding for alcohol has been successfully used for many years.
This approach to alcoholism therapy has a number of advantages:
- ensures effective results;
- ensures the reliability of treatment;
- is easy to use;
- has an affordable price;
- has no side effects;
- helps to solve the problem quickly.
Treatment by the Dovzhenko method for alcoholism has no contraindications and can be used in all cases of the disease. This method is most effective if the patient has a conscious desire to get rid of addiction and start a new life without alcohol.
Treatment by Dovzhenko’s method: preparation for coding
Before coding, you must give up alcohol for 7 days. The clinic’s specialists will perform procedures aimed at detoxifying the body and removing alcohol breakdown products from it. Attending a consultation with a narcologist is mandatory. Getting rid of alcohol dependence using the Dovzhenko method is gentle and painless for the patient.
Treatment results
After undergoing the procedure, patients have an aversion to alcohol and have no desire to drink alcohol. Dovzhenko’s method does not use medications, which may be attractive to some patients who fear side effects or have restrictions on the use of medications. Dovzhenko’s procedure usually takes a short period of time, unlike some other treatments. As a rule, the patient leaves the doctor’s office within 5 hours after the start of the session. In most cases, one visit is enough for coding.
The method is focused on the inclusion of psychological aspects of alcohol dependence and can help patients change their view and attitude towards alcohol.
The results of the method are always individualized and not all patients can achieve a permanent and effective aversion to alcohol. In this situation, the narcologist will select alternative methods of getting rid of alcohol addiction.
What do you need to know?
Hypnosis procedures can carry risks, such as false memories or unwanted emotional effects. In some cases, the effect of Dovzhenko’s method may be temporary and not provide long-term recovery.
Treatment by Dovzhenko’s method at home is possible in exceptional cases. Optimal results of any alcohol addiction therapy can be obtained only in a hospital setting, where the patient is under round-the-clock supervision of specialists and protected from the outside world. It is important to understand that home treatment according to the Dovzhenko method may not give the same results as similar therapy in a clinic.
Dovzhenko’s methodology helps to fight not only alcohol addiction, but also drug addiction, smoking, and gambling. If there is a person in your immediate environment who needs help, seek advice from a narcologist (a narcologist can make house calls).
Before deciding on a method of treating alcohol dependence, patients should seek advice from qualified narcologists at the GarMed clinic and consider all available treatment options, including medication, psychotherapy, group support, and other therapeutic options.
