Recognitions and Statistics
The clinic holds an official license from the Ukrainian Ministry of Health. It earned the Ukrainian Business Award 2022 for its medical services. Specialists report a 17% increase in long-term remissions for alcohol dependence compared to traditional treatment schemes.
A multidisciplinary team of narcologists, psychiatrists, and resuscitators manages patient safety. Treatment is 100% anonymous. The center does not place patients on the state psychiatric registry.
Psychiatry and Mental Health
The psychiatry department treats complex endogenous and organic disorders. Medical Director Dr. Elena Novohatskaya has over 25 years of experience managing schizophrenia and psychoses. The team uses a multi-stage diagnostic algorithm to tell neurotic and organic conditions apart.
Specialists treat several psychiatric conditions and trauma-related symptoms:
- Schizophrenia and schizophrenia-spectrum disorders
- Bipolar affective disorder (Types I, II, and cyclothymia)
- Major depressive disorder and anxious depression
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and flashbacks
- Neuroses and panic reactions
Treatment combines modern pharmacotherapy with atypical neuroleptics and neurometabolic therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the primary psychotherapeutic method. A typical urgent rehabilitation course for neuroses lasts 14 days.
Narcology and Addiction Recovery
The addiction medicine department provides emergency and long-term care for alcohol and drug dependence. Dr. Boris Ivnev, a psychotherapist and Professor, leads addiction recovery programs. He brings over 20 years of practice. The clinic offers 24/7 quick-response help for urgent cases.
Detoxification methods include hardware-assisted procedures for patient safety:
- Plasma exchange (plasmapheresis)
- Hemoadsorption (hemosorption)
- Ultra-fast opioid detoxification (UBOD)

The anesthesiology station monitors patients during intensive detox stages. Alcohol rehabilitation includes trigger management and building healthy coping skills. If a patient refuses care, the team offers "controlled consequence" techniques for family support.
Rehabilitation and Psychological Support
The treatment-and-rehabilitation unit coordinates the shift from medication stabilization to social recovery. Psychologist Dr. Viktoriya Kravtsova focuses on psychodiagnostics and family counseling. The center provides ongoing support for 30 days or longer to prevent relapse.
Rehabilitation services include the following stages and support tools:
- Inpatient care from 21 days for addiction recovery
- Mutual-aid group organization for drug users
- Social and professional adaptation programs

Post-treatment care involves working with relatives to create a supportive home atmosphere. This helps patients return to active social life after discharge.

The clinic uses dedicated medical equipment for detoxification and diagnostics. Somnological Check-Ups identify the causes of chronic insomnia through sleep monitoring. Specialists also use ultrasound diagnostics and lab tests to assess physical health during recovery.
For international or remote patients, the center offers online consultations. These video calls take place over secured channels. Doctors provide full clinical appointments and psychotherapeutic counseling via these platforms.
