It involves influencing the patient&#8217;s subconscious mind to induce a persistent aversion to alcohol.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In working with a patient, a set of methods is used, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>psycholinguistic programming;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>therapeutic practices;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>hypnosis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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&#8217;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.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/coding-by-the-dovzhenko-method\/#how_dovzhenkos_method_works_in_the_treatment_of_alcoholism\" title=\"How Dovzhenko&#8217;s method works in the treatment of alcoholism\">How Dovzhenko&#8217;s method works in the treatment of alcoholism<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/coding-by-the-dovzhenko-method\/#treatment_by_dovzhenkos_method_preparation_for_coding\" title=\"Treatment by Dovzhenko&#8217;s method: preparation for coding  \">Treatment by Dovzhenko&#8217;s method: preparation for coding  <\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/coding-by-the-dovzhenko-method\/#treatment_results\" title=\"Treatment results\">Treatment results<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/coding-by-the-dovzhenko-method\/#what_do_you_need_to_know\" title=\"What do you need to know?\">What do you need to know?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/coding-by-the-dovzhenko-method\/#you_may_also_be_interested_in\" title=\"You may also be interested in:\">You may also be interested in:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-alcoholism\/coding-by-the-dovzhenko-method\/#you_may_also_need\" title=\"You may also need:\">You may also need:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_dovzhenkos_method_works_in_the_treatment_of_alcoholism\"><\/span>How Dovzhenko&#8217;s method works in the treatment of alcoholism<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dovzhenko&#8217;s method involves <\/strong>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 <strong>treatment of alcoholism, Dovzhenko&#8217;s method <\/strong>involves a single visit or several sessions over several days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An important part of <strong>Dovzhenko&#8217;s treatment <\/strong>is the involvement of the patient&#8217;s family and friends, who help create favorable conditions for recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Dovzhenko method of coding for alcohol <\/strong>has been successfully used for many years.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach to alcoholism therapy has a number of advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ensures effective results;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ensures the reliability of treatment;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>is easy to use;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>has an affordable price;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>has no side effects;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>helps to solve the problem quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Treatment by the Dovzhenko method for alcoholism <\/strong>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.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"treatment_by_dovzhenkos_method_preparation_for_coding\"><\/span>Treatment by Dovzhenko&#8217;s method: preparation for coding  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before coding, you must give up alcohol for 7 days. The clinic&#8217;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. <strong>Getting rid of alcohol dependence using the Dovzhenko method <\/strong>is gentle and painless for the patient.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"treatment_results\"><\/span>Treatment results<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After undergoing the procedure, patients have an aversion to alcohol and have no desire to drink alcohol. Dovzhenko&#8217;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&#8217;s procedure usually takes a short period of time, unlike some other treatments. As a rule, the patient leaves the doctor&#8217;s office within 5 hours after the start of the session. In most cases, one visit is enough for coding.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The method is focused on the inclusion of psychological aspects of alcohol dependence and can help patients change their view and attitude towards alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 <strong>methods of getting rid of alcohol addiction<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_do_you_need_to_know\"><\/span>What do you need to know?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hypnosis procedures can carry risks, such as false memories or unwanted emotional effects. In some cases, the effect of Dovzhenko&#8217;s method may be temporary and not provide long-term recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Treatment by Dovzhenko&#8217;s method at home <\/strong>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.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dovzhenko&#8217;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).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n.section-title {\n    font-size: 24px;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    margin-bottom: 15px;\n    color: #222;\n}\n.tag-container {\n    display: flex;\n    flex-wrap: wrap;\n    gap: 10px;\n    margin-bottom: 30px;\n}\n.tag {\n    background-color: #f0f0f0;\n    border-radius: 6px;\n    padding: 8px 15px;\n    font-size: 14px;\n    font-weight: 500;\n}\n.tag a {\n    text-decoration: none;\n    color: #0077cc;\n    transition: color 0.3s ease;\n}\n.tag a:hover {\n    color: #005fa3;\n}\n.section {\n    margin-top: 10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<h2 class=\"section-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"you_may_also_be_interested_in\"><\/span>You may also be interested in:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"tag-container\">\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-mental-disorders\/treatment-of-depression\/\">Depression treatment<\/a><\/div>\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-mental-disorders\/treatment-of-bipolar-disorder\/\">Bipolar disorder treatment<\/a><\/div>\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-mental-disorders\/insomnia-treatment\/\">Insomnia treatment<\/a><\/div>\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-mental-disorders\/treatment-of-anorexia-and-bulimia-2\/\">Anorexia and bulimia treatment<\/a><\/div>\n  <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-mental-disorders\/psychiatric-consultation\/\">Psychiatrist consultation<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"section-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"you_may_also_need\"><\/span>You may also need:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"section\">\n  <div class=\"tag-container\">\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-mental-disorders\/rehabilitation-center-boarding-house-for-the-mentally-ill\/\">Rehabilitation center for mentally ill<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/treatment-of-mental-disorders\/\">Mental disorder treatment<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/drug-addiction-treatment-methods-of-fighting-addiction\/drug-addiction-treatment-withdrawal-management\/\">Withdrawal treatment<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/drug-addiction-treatment-methods-of-fighting-addiction\/urod-peculiarities-of-the-procedure-and-its-purpose\/\">UBOD<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"tag\"><a href=\"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/service\/drug-addiction-treatment-methods-of-fighting-addiction\/compulsory-drug-treatment-is-it-possible\/\">Forced drug addiction treatment<\/a><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2243,"parent":1750,"menu_order":12,"template":"","class_list":["post-1757","service","type-service","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service\/1757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/service"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service\/1757\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service\/1750"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/garmed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
