In our society, the attitude towards drug addicts is negative. Some of them even consider it a scum of society. But if such a calamity occurs in the families of those who are arrogant towards drug addicts, categoricalness is already softened and people begin to understand that drug addiction is a disease of society, and not of some particular category of citizens, which you can not even remember. It must be remembered that the chance for both falling and rebirth is inherent in every person, regardless of his social status and financial situation.

Rehabilitation of drug addicts

In our country - Russia - there are non-governmental and state organizations, public rehabilitation centers that deal with primary and secondary prevention of drug addiction, social rehabilitation of drug addicts. In the staff of these organizations are those who are already recovering from drug addiction. An example of those who have undergone a difficult path of rehabilitation and has been in remission for several months or years is very revealing in the hope of new patients and their inspiration in becoming free to enjoy life without drugs.

One who has his own experience of overcoming drug dependence enjoys great confidence in new patients in the rehabilitation center for drug addicts.

Social and psychological rehabilitation begins with the unconditional full recognition by the addicted person of the fact of his illness. He realizes the essence of drug dependence and the hidden motives of his behavior, which trigger the mechanism of the pathological circle of drug addiction. Then the patient learns to control himself in stressful situations and build normal relations with the surrounding world and people. Further, already the former patient aspires to rejoice and to take pleasure in a healthy life against a complete refusal from the use of psychoactive means.


Free and paid rehabilitation centers

It is interesting how many patients after rehabilitation are completely "tied up" with substance abuse? The real results of rehabilitation are not always known. After all, not all non-governmental and state centers have an accurate record of the effectiveness of the rehabilitation course. Simply accounting is not always possible for one reason or another. But statistics of some state organizations tells us about three or four out of ten patients who do not actually use drugs. And this is already a lot! On average, 35% of former drug addicts with a stable remission.

In the public rehabilitation centers, there is free assistance to drug addicts. Along with the list of free medical, psychological, social, pedagogical services, in many state organizations there are also lists of paid services - for money, anonymously. Non-state rehabilitation centers provide paid assistance to drug addicts.


After all, in the main, non-governmental organizations exist in the mode of self-repayment. They do not have a source of financing from the state. Although there is a free rehabilitation center, where the work of patients is used to grow and prepare food, repair and construction of premises and buildings. Such organizations, as a rule, exist with the support of religious organizations, they also can be their founders. Choosing a rehabilitation center where drug addicts are being rebuilt for free is important not to run into scammers who act on the principle of a totalitarian sect.

The bulk of rehabilitation centers for drug addicts operate on a paid basis. Usually they have a small staff - ten or fifteen employees. Good buildings, rooms, comfortable conditions for keeping rehabilitants. The fee will be appropriate for self-repayment of the ongoing rehabilitation work.
