The average cost of drug coding for alcoholism is from 4000 to 15000 rubles. depending on the type of drug. insta story viewer
Healing hypnosis	This type of coding of patients with chronic alcoholism provides for a direct impact on the subconscious of a person. The narcologist conducts a conversation and explanatory work with the patient, forming a negative attitude towards alcohol in him. Then the patient is put into a trance and continues to instill harm, danger and other negative consequences of alcoholism. The average duration of therapeutic hypnosis is 1 to 3 hours. The cost of a therapeutic procedure is at least 15,000 rubles. for 1 session. The main disadvantage of coding with the help of therapeutic hypnosis is the impossibility of its use in in relation to patients with alcohol withdrawal syndrome, as well as those who have previously undergone craniocerebral injury.
Acupuncture	This type of coding for chronic alcoholism is one of the least popular and demanded in practical narcology. The essence of the treatment is that with the help of special needles the doctor acts on acupuncture points responsible for the psychoemotional reactions of the patient, craving for alcohol and getting pleasure. Acupuncture can be used in combination with therapeutic hypnosis. The average duration of a therapeutic procedure is 30-40 minutes. To achieve the positive effect of coding for alcoholism, you will need to undergo at least 5 acupuncture sessions. The cost of acupuncture is within 10,000 rubles.
Bioacoustic correction	This is a kind of hardware coding method for alcohol addiction. The method of its implementation consists in the fact that the patient listens to the sound signals of the electroencephalogram through headphones, which have a beneficial effect on the work of brain cells. Bioacoustic correction is aimed at harmonizing the functional activity of the thinking organ and eliminating the need for additional stimulation with alcohol. The cost of the treatment is about 1,500 rubles. for 1 procedure. On average, it may take up to 10 sessions.
Laser coding	This type of coding for alcohol dependence can be used in combination with a medication. With the help of a laser beam, a narcologist carries out a point effect on the centers of the brain responsible for the perception of pleasure that appears after drinking alcohol. The result of therapeutic manipulations is a decrease in their excitement and functional activity. The patient feels complete indifference to alcohol. On average, a treatment procedure lasts no more than 20 minutes, and its cost is 1,450 rubles. To achieve a positive effect, you need to go through 10 laser coding sessions.
Intracranial translocation	The essence of this type of coding for alcohol dependence is that the patient's cerebral cortex is affected by electromagnetic fields of a certain frequency. Due to their dosed effect, the activity of neurons in the brain is modulated. The craving for alcohol decreases gradually, and the patient develops a feeling of indifference to alcohol. The course of intracranial translocation is 10,000 rubles.
Seizure therapy	This type of coding for alcohol dependence is based on the use of electrical impulses. Under their influence, a systemic aversion to alcoholic beverages is produced in the cells of the brain. A person just needs to think about alcohol, as he immediately becomes ill. The average duration of a therapeutic session is 20 minutes, and its cost is not less than 7000 rubles. The positive therapeutic effect lasts for the next 8-12 months.
Hyperthermal method	This type of coding for chronic alcoholism is the least popular and demanded among narcologists. The principle of its implementation is that the patient is injected with general anesthesia, and then immersed in a container with hot water, which is constantly heated. The patient's body temperature is brought to +42 degrees Celsius and held for the next 2 hours. The therapeutic effect is achieved due to the critical overheating of the body, under which the normal functioning of the central nervous system is restored. This is a stressful therapy that is contraindicated in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Procedure step by step

The most popular treatment for chronic alcoholism is coding with the drug Disulfiram.

The step-by-step conduct of the therapeutic procedure is as follows:

1. The patient comes to the office of the narcologist at a strictly appointed time and date.
2. The patient lies down on the surface of the couch and exposes the part of the body where the injection solution of the drug or medication capsule will be injected.
3. In the absence of contraindications, the doctor performs an intramuscular injection with Disulfiram.
4. In the case of using a drug capsule, local anesthesia is applied, and then an incision of the skin surface with a length of 2-3 mm is made, into which the drug Disulfiram is inserted.
5. Upon completion of the therapeutic manipulations, suture material and an antiseptic dressing are applied, which subsequently will need to be changed once a day for 5 days.

It is not recommended to shower and wet the surgical site for 24 hours after the operation.

The principle of action of the drug is that Disulfiram blocks the excretion of a particularly toxic metabolite of ethyl alcohol - acetaldehyde from the body. In this regard, a person feels symptoms of acute intoxication even after drinking small doses of alcohol.

After 7 days, at the request of the patient, the doctor conducts a provocative test. It consists in the fact that a person who has undergone a course of treatment is allowed to try 20-30 g of alcohol. After drinking alcohol, he develops pronounced symptoms of poisoning. This is the fixing phase of the ban on alcohol. All actions are carried out under the supervision of a narcologist.

• avoid psycho-emotional overstrain and stressful situations;
• saturate your diet with meat, cereals, ocean fish, fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, chicken eggs, dairy products;
• avoid intense physical activity;
• regularly change the antiseptic dressing and carry out antibacterial treatment of the part of the body where the capsule with Disulfiram was sewn;
• take a course of vitamins and minerals that will strengthen the central nervous system and increase the efficiency of the whole body.

  

During the recovery period after coding, a person should be surrounded by care and psychological support from loved ones, friends and family members. Any stressful situation can provoke repeated drinking.

The average duration of the therapeutic effect is from 8 months. up to 5 years. The intrinsic motivation of a person who has decided to get rid of addiction is of great importance. If, on the subconscious, the patient does not take the encoding seriously, then the repeated intake of alcohol is possible within six months.
