Materials and methods

Coding A.R. Dovzhenko

Coding Dovzhenko in medicine as a method introduced in the late twentieth century physician from Feodosia, Dovzhenko for the treatment of addiction to alcohol and smoking. The method was truly unique. The mechanism of coding is to create an active psycho-physiological dominant, aimed at a healthy lifestyle and preventing tobacco use and alcohol use.

For over 30 years, and to date this method has been successfully used for the encoding of alcohol dependence and is considered the most effective and humane. Especial popularity it has acquired in Russia and CIS.

The method of coding

During the session, the encoding takes psychological and hypnotic effect on the subconscious mind of the patient. He inspired indifference to alcohol for a certain period, is given to the installation of a sober way of life, after which the patient is reduced and then completely disappears craving for alcohol. To achieve this effect does not require any deep hypnosis or drugs, everything happens in the waking state, psychotherapist affects the patient's only words.

Dr. vividly and emotionally, with concrete examples, in plain language, talks about the dangers of alcohol for the body, its destructive action, and gradually brings the patient to think about treatment. During the session, it does not sound such phrases as "vodka - vomiting", "vodka smell sickening," etc.

In conclusion, psychotherapist tells the patient what will happen to them in the event of the use of alcohol (whether accidental or intentional) in the period of the code. The patient who has violated the rules, there is a "break-up of the code," and it may be a stroke, heart attack and other serious consequences, including death. So do not try alcohol, to verify the effectiveness of the encoding, it can be expensive!

Dates of coding from alcoholism

The ban, which applies the method of coding from alcoholism, is set for a specified period. His patient chooses, as desired. This may be one, three, five years or for life. Recommended timing coding 3-5 years. The complete absence of craving for alcohol after the encoding method Dovzhenko is usually observed after 1-2 years. But it also happens that 1 year of coding from alcoholism is enough that a person accustomed to a state learned to give up alcohol alone and forever quit drinking.

Upon expiration of the re-encoding can be performed over a longer period or to extend the period before the end of the previous coding.

Is it possible to be decoded? Yeah, it is possible. The code can be removed at any time, without causing any harm. Of course, this has to do psychotherapist and better if he spent the session the patient coding from alcoholism. If during the term of coding patient accidentally took alcohol, an urgent need to see a doctor to be decoded. If you quickly come to the doctor it is not possible to remove the code by phone.

After encoding method Dovzhenko alcoholism man returns to normal sober life gets, as they say, a second chance, and further recovery is fully depends on it. The less provocative situations, the more comfortable and easier to pass abstinence from alcohol in the patient.
