Coding for alcoholism: sewing in an ampoule. Reviews

Coding for alcoholism - a reliable and effective way to combat addiction, based on subcutaneous, injection or intramuscular suturing of an ampoule with disulfiram, which is not compatible with ethyl alcohol. The technique is based on the ability of Esperal, Torpedo or Antinol ampoules (disulfiram derivatives) to interfere with the body's ability produce acetaldehyde dehydrogenases - enzymes that convert toxic decomposition products of ethyl alcohol into acetic acid that is safe for the body acid and water.

In its natural state, acetaldehyde is a toxic substance that, when it enters the human body, provokes severe pain, dizziness, tachycardia and nausea, as well as having a destructive effect on the functioning of the kidneys, liver and cardiovascular system, up to painful fatal outcome.

A person experiencing pain from even a small dose of alcohol on a subconscious level begins to be afraid repetition of an unpleasant condition, as well as possible death and completely refuses any kind alcohol. Over time, a former alcoholic under the influence of stress may even develop an aversion to the taste and smell of alcohol, both on a psychological and reflex level.

Indication for the procedure

Coding for alcoholism - sewing an ampoule with a solution or gel with Esperal, Teturam or Antinol is used as a reliable a way to combat chronic alcohol dependence, accompanied by constant and uncontrolled use of alcohol drinks. Toxic substances contained in the blood of chronic alcoholics destructively affect both internal organs and the nervous system, leading to the complete degradation of a person both physically and emotionally plan.

Sewing an ampoule with drugs incompatible with ethyl alcohol is considered the most effective way to combat an addiction that makes a person not only independently refuse to drink alcohol, but also on a subconscious level acquire aversion to any types of alcoholic beverages, from which he was previously unable to refuse.

First appeared in 1946, the drug was first actively used to treat chronic alcoholism in Denmark, and then proved its excellent qualities in other countries of the world. Once in the body, disulfiram (or its derivatives) is completely safe and does not manifest itself in any way until alcohol appears in the blood.

At that moment, the drug begins to actively interfere with the production of enzymes that help the decomposition of acetaldehyde contained in ethanol, preventing them from acquiring a state of acetic acid and water that is safe for the body, at the same time forcing them to exert their toxic action.

Since in its natural state acetaldehyde is a stronger poison, then a person under its influence experiences all the symptoms withdrawal symptoms, but in this case, neither new portions of alcohol nor other standard methods of withdrawal bring relief hangover.

The good therapeutic qualities of the ampoules allow them to be used in the treatment of alcoholism, accompanied by:

• a constant, often irresistible desire to drink, appearing immediately from the moment of awakening and especially aggravated in unpleasant or problematic situations;
• problems with loved ones caused by an increased craving for alcohol;
• changing the usual social circle to friends spending time drinking alcoholic beverages;
• a gradual increase in doses of regularly taken alcohol;
• lack of gag reflex to large amounts of ethanol and increasing memory lapses;
• the appearance of a full-fledged withdrawal (hangover) syndrome, accompanied by dizziness, nausea, headaches;
• increased frequency of uncontrollable signs of aggression that occur during periods of sobriety.

The listed signs are typical for persons suffering from alcohol dependence of 1 and 2 degrees.

Contraindications

Coding for alcoholism with sewing in an ampoule can be carried out only with the voluntary consent of the patient. Only in this case the risk of possible complications and side effects is reduced.

Also, this technique allows you to timely identify contraindications to this procedure, including:

• severe alcohol intoxication;
• severe pathologies of the liver and kidneys;
• predisposition to epilepsy;
• any mental illness and nervous disorders;
• allergic reactions that occur at the injection site;
• acute infectious or immune pathologies;
• pregnancy and the period of breastfeeding;
• diabetes mellitus and other chronic endocrine diseases;
• oncological neoplasms.

The implantation of an ampoule is not used in case of alcohol dependence of the 3rd degree, accompanied by complete degradation of a person as a person.

Possible complications

Coding for alcoholism - sewing an ampoule with any toxic substance implies a constant presence in the blood of a drug that blocks production enzymes necessary for the breakdown of acetaldehyde, which invariably provokes the strongest response of the body to any, even the smallest dose alcohol.

In order for the patient to understand what negative consequences await him, the doctor, after the ampoule is implanted, suggests that the alcoholic drink no more than 25 ml of alcohol. It is this amount that will enable the patient to assess the severity of the body's response, but will not lead to painful shock.

Ethyl alcohol that gets into the blood is instantly split into acetaldehydes, which negatively affect the human liver and trigger the process of severe intoxication, accompanied by:

• increased frequency and difficulty in breathing;
• shortness of breath;
• sudden attacks of heat or cold;
• violation of the heart rhythm;
• nausea and uncontrolled vomiting that does not bring relief to the person;

After the first violent reaction, the symptoms of alcohol poisoning intensify, which makes a person:

• coordination of movements is impaired;
• clouded consciousness;
• visual function is lost.

The unpleasant symptoms of a small amount of alcohol in the bloodstream may persist up to 2-3 days and stop after the removal of ethyl alcohol and its derivatives from the body with urine or feces.

When drinking large doses of alcohol, after sewing in the ampoule, you can also observe:

• the appearance of convulsive, epileptic-like seizures;
• exacerbation of cardiovascular failure, which can lead to a stroke or heart attack;
• failure of the liver or kidneys;
• swelling of the brain.

Any of these symptoms can be fatal, provoked by the incompatibility of ethyl alcohol and drugs.

Training

Sewing the ampoule precedes the preparatory process, during which:

• the specialist talks with the patient, explaining in detail to him the essence of the procedure, the methods of its implementation, the specifics and possible consequences;
• the patient's blood is purified from the content of ethyl alcohol in it, for which at least 5 days before the start of the procedure, the patient should refrain from drinking any types of alcoholic beverages;
• a blood test is carried out, which allows to determine in advance possible allergic reactions to the introduction of the ampoule.

If the patient is in a state of chronic alcohol intoxication, he is placed in a hospital where, through intravenous injections, they cleanse the body of ethanol and other toxic components.

Procedure options

Coding for alcoholism can be done in several ways:

• by sewing the ampoule intramuscularly;
• subcutaneously;
• intravenously

Intravenous or subcutaneous

The drug in the form of a gel is used for implantation intravenously, subcutaneously or directly into the liver under local anesthesia, which is accompanied by rather painful sensations. After implantation, the gel needs a certain time to harden. The patient is forced to spend this time in clinics under the supervision of a doctor.

For subcutaneous or intravenous administration, Esperal or Torpedo preparations are most often used, and the doctor himself selects the implantation site. The capsule with the gel is placed in the subcutaneous tissue, which provides a long-term treatment effect. The advantage of this, as well as the injection method, is that even if the patient can remove the capsule part of the gel, all will remain equally in the subcutaneous fat layer and will contribute to the intoxication of the body with subsequent use alcohol.

Intramuscularly

The most commonly used coding method, based on the confidence of patients suffering from alcoholism that it is almost impossible for them to get the ampoule on their own. Intramuscular implantation of Esperal or Torpedo capsules is carried out in a hospital setting and requires a highly qualified doctor.

Coding technique

Regardless of the choice of the method, the implantation of an ampoule or gel is carried out in a hospital in a narcological clinic and only after successful completion of preliminary training.

Before starting the procedure, the medical staff must receive a receipt from the patient that he has been informed about method of carrying out the procedure, agreed to it voluntarily and knows about the possible consequences if the conditions are not met treatment. The patient's relatives and friends give the same receipt.

The place for the implantation of the ampoule is chosen by the doctor, focusing on the inaccessibility for the patient. In most cases, the subscapularis, gluteal or femoral region is used for this, but the insertion site itself does not affect the coding efficiency.

By choosing a specialist area:

1. Disinfects and then anesthetizes the implantation site.
2. Using a scalpel, he makes an incision, and then places the capsule at a depth of at least 4 cm.
3. After inserting the ampoule, the incision site is sutured with self-absorbable sutures. \

Since the coding is carried out under local anesthesia, the patient does not experience any unpleasant sensations during the procedure. After implantation, the patient is also prescribed drugs that relieve pain.

Drugs used for coding:

Esperal or Topredo	The effectiveness of ampoules is based on the ability of disulfiram to block the production of special enzymes involved in the breakdown and elimination of ethyl alcohol from the body. The action of drugs can be lightning fast, as a result of which all symptoms of a hangover syndrome appear within a few minutes after drinking alcohol. Provoking with the help of acetaldehyde the strongest intoxication of the body, the drugs affect the psyche, and also lead to the development of severe dysfunctions of the liver, kidneys and cardiovascular system.
"Antinol"	In recent years, it has become very popular when coding for alcoholism and is used for intravenous administration. Basing its therapeutic effect on disulfiram, the drug blocks the breakdown of acetaldehydes, provoking severe intoxication of the body when drinking even a small amount of alcohol.
"Naltrexone"	Unlike other drugs, this drug blocks the central opioid receptors. nervous system prevents the appearance of a feeling of intoxication and euphoria that accompanies each intake of alcoholic drinks. The drug, which allows the use of small portions of alcohol when coding, does not give pleasure from alcohol, provoking the development of a persistent aversion to anyone containing ethyl alcohol, drinks.

When the ampoule is inserted, the patient also chooses the period during which the coding will be active. Usually it lasts from 6 months to 3 years, after which it is fashionable to repeat the procedure.

Side effects

After implantation of the ampoule, the patient may experience:

• headaches;
• local allergic reactions to drug administration;
• dry mouth or the appearance of a metallic taste;
• polyneuritis.

In case of violation of the rules of postoperative care for the site of implantation of the ampoule in the wound, tissue suppuration may occur.

Also, if the procedure is not of high quality, it is possible:

• rejection of the drug;
• the development of skin dermatitis.

To avoid possible adverse reactions will help contacting a specialized clinic with highly qualified personnel and proper wound care, which requires:

• periodically change the sterile dressing, until the incision heals;
• do not wet or touch the seam for 3 days;
• use special disinfectants to treat wounds.

If the implantation was carried out by injection, then no post-procedural care is required.

The effectiveness of the treatment

Coding for alcoholism - the implantation of an ampoule in most cases becomes not only the moment of refusal from alcohol drinks, but also the beginning of a "new life", at the first stages of which the patient will need special help and support from loved ones. After the procedure, the doctor can prescribe to the patient special drugs that reduce the craving for alcohol, but the patient must do all the rest of the work himself, together with his family and friends.

It is also necessary that a person who has previously suffered from alcoholism change his toxic environment and find himself an interesting occupation that can help to distract from painful thoughts about alcohol. Since the therapeutic effect of ampoule implantation is largely based on the fear of death from alcohol poisoning, he gradually abandoned alcoholic beverages a person will stop behaving self-centered and understand that alcohol not only destroys his life, but also gives a lot of anxiety and problems to loved ones and loved ones sick.

Upon completion of the encoding, it is common for such people to start chronically drinking alcohol again, since they need the effect of alcohol not only for pleasure, but also in order to stop thinking about existing problems.

Advantages and disadvantages of the method

Coding for alcoholism - sewing in an ampoule with a solution or gel allows you not only to effectively fight the craving for alcoholic beverages, but also has a number of significant advantages, such as:

• the persistence of the effect of the procedure lasts from 6 months to 5 years;
• complete elimination of the physiological need for alcohol;
• high probability of complete rejection of alcohol at the end of the firmware;

Here, the implantation of the ampoule will not become the basis, but the support of the treatment, upon completion of which the former chronic alcoholic will be able to completely overcome his illness.

Otherwise, after the completion of the action of the drug, the patient will disappear and the associated fear of death, after which he will be able to return to drinking alcohol with renewed vigor.
