How the request works
The first contact does not oblige you to start treatment. You can briefly describe the situation, ask questions and get guidance on a safe next step.
If there are acute symptoms, loss of consciousness, seizures, chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe hallucinations or a suspected overdose, you need to contact emergency medical help.
Questions and answers
Can I contact you confidentially?
Yes. Demeevka does not disclose the fact that you contacted us and handles personal data carefully.
Can relatives start with a consultation?
Yes. Often relatives take the first step, to understand the risks, how to approach the conversation, and the safe next steps.
Can I choose a specific treatment method right away?
The final form of help is decided only after assessing the condition, symptoms, risks and contraindications.
What should I prepare for the first contact?
It helps to briefly describe the symptoms, how long the use lasted, the current condition, chronic illnesses, and which medications have already been taken.
When is urgent help needed with drug use?
A suspected overdose, breathing problems, seizures, loss of consciousness, psychosis, aggression or suicidal thoughts require immediate assessment and, if needed, a call for emergency help.
Can withdrawal or intoxication be relieved at home on your own?
Self-treatment increases the risk of complications. A safe form of help is decided after assessing the substance, symptoms, co-existing conditions and level of risk.
Is a drug test needed before treatment?
Not always. In some cases the clinical symptoms matter more, but a test can help confirm the fact of use and support the further plan of care.
What should be done after the acute stage?
After stabilisation it is important not to stop at detox: treatment of the addiction, psychiatric support, rehabilitation and work with the family are discussed.
