Official medical document

Certificate of alcohol addiction coding

After the procedure (medication-based alcohol blockade, implant or Dovzhenko coding), the patient receives an official medical certificate of the standard form with the clinic’s wet stamp and the addiction doctor’s personal signature.

  • Legal validity: can be presented to an employer, upon request, to courts or to relatives.
  • No addiction registry: the document is issued confidentially, with no entries in state registers.
  • Accurate details: the certificate states the date, therapy method, medication and the official duration of the blockade.
  • Issued immediately: the document is handed to the patient on the day of the procedure.

 

An alcoholism implant is a high-quality method of treating alcohol dependence that involves the introduction of certified medications. It works through a chemical interaction between ethanol and the active ingredient of the implant. If sobriety is broken, a reaction follows immediately, causing a sharp deterioration in health. As a result, the person develops a lasting fear of drinking alcohol.

At our clinic, we use and offer you every element of recovery for both body and mind.

How an alcoholism implant is placed

An anti-alcohol implant is placed in several stages:

  1. Preparation. It is necessary to rule out any possible side reactions to the medication: swelling, heart rhythm disturbances, fever, skin redness, etc. Immediately before the procedure, doctors examine the patient and take samples for tests to confirm there is no alcohol in the blood. If the patient is intoxicated, they are temporarily admitted to the inpatient unit, where full detoxification is carried out over 3–5 days.
  2. Psychologist consultations. The specialist helps the patient realize that life will definitely change for the better without alcohol. The psychologist explains the implant procedure itself and how long it lasts.
  3. Full examination. Diagnostics determine any restrictions related to the procedure.
  4. Placing the implant. The procedure is performed only with the patient’s consent.

Motivation to live without alcohol is part of effective treatment. If the person does not want to stop drinking, even an implant will not help.

The medication in the form of an ampoule (capsule) or tablet is implanted in a place hard for the patient to reach (the buttock or under the shoulder blade).

This is what the anti-alcohol implant medication and the syringe used to insert it look like.

How an anti-alcohol implant works

The way it works depends on the active ingredient in the ampoule:

  1. Disulfiram (e.g., Teturam, Esperal, etc.). The substance blocks the release of liver enzymes that break down ethanol. As a result, if the person drinks alcohol, they develop symptoms of severe poisoning, with physical and psychological discomfort. Drinking is accompanied not only by nausea, vomiting, cramps and dizziness, but also by panic attacks. These sensations are remembered and keep the person from relapsing next time. Psychologically, the person begins to see alcohol as poison.
  2. Naltrexone (e.g., Vivitrol) blocks the brain receptors responsible for pleasure after drinking alcohol. Drinking brings no satisfaction and no relaxation. On the contrary, the person begins to feel severe discomfort similar to a hangover.

When choosing the active ingredient, the doctor weighs the possible risks and benefits.

 

Contraindications to an anti-alcohol implant

An implant cannot be placed in the following conditions and diseases:

  • diabetes;
  • pregnancy and breastfeeding;
  • autoimmune diseases;
  • heart muscle failure;
  • cancer and tumors;
  • acute infection;
  • fever and high blood pressure.

For the best result, the client can spend a few days in the clinic’s inpatient unit after the implant is placed. During this time, they see a psychologist and consult an addiction doctor or general practitioner. This comprehensive approach  ensures fast and gentle rehabilitation.

You can find prices in the relevant section or by calling the phone numbers listed on the website. You can consult our staff in person at the clinic in Dnipro or Kropyvnytskyi, or by phone.

All conversations are anonymous. For the consultation and implant procedure, all you need is to come in person with the desire to live a normal life and the means to pay. You can leave your passport at home.

According to reviews from clinic clients who have already had this procedure, the effect is achieved quickly and easily.

FAQ

Can the implant be rejected?
In our many years of practice, we have not had a single case of implant rejection. In theory it is possible, but only rarely, due to individual characteristics. We follow all antiseptic rules, and the implant is placed by an experienced surgeon, so it takes quickly and reliably.
What is an implant? Where can you buy it?
The implant is a sterile syringe container holding a solid powder form of the medication (disulfiram). It cannot be bought independently; we work with a pharmaceutical company and receive certified products from the USA and Germany.
Is an anti-alcohol implant dangerous?
The substance implanted into the soft tissues affects how the body processes ethyl alcohol. In other words, if you do not drink, the substance stays “passive” and causes no harm.
How does an Esperal implant affect the body?
The medication blocks the liver’s production of a special enzyme that breaks down alcohol. As a result, alcohol entering the body has a toxic effect, causing various unpleasant symptoms – allergic reactions, hot flushes, dizziness, tachycardia, a rise or drop in blood pressure, etc. – which makes drinking extremely unpleasant. This leads to a conditioned aversion to the taste and smell of alcohol.
