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 a psychiatrist needed, not just an addiction doctor?
When the addiction is joined by hallucinations, marked anxiety, depressive symptoms, insomnia, panic attacks, psychosis or suicidal thoughts.
Which mental symptoms should not be ignored?
Disorientation, sharp changes in behaviour, aggression, delusions, hallucinations, statements about self-harm or a complete refusal to sleep require a fast assessment.
Can anxiety and insomnia get worse after stopping use?
Yes. It is important to assess what is related to withdrawal and what requires separate psychiatric or psychotherapeutic help.
When is inpatient care or emergency help needed?
Inpatient care or an urgent response is needed with psychosis, a high risk of self-harm, severe behavioural disturbances, or when a person is dangerous to themselves or others.
