Came at night and helped bring my father out of a binge

My father had been on a heavy binge for several days and we could no longer cope on our own. The doctor came at night, set up an IV and calmly explained when home care was enough and when hospital was needed. No one frightened or pressured us — that reassured us most.

In the family there were binges, short breaks and relapses again. At Demeevka they did not promise a miracle in one day but explained that after the acute state a further plan was needed. For us this was more honest and more useful than more quick promises.

How we work with reviews

Privacy matters more than nice stories

Addiction care belongs to sensitive topics. So we do not reveal unnecessary details, do not publish patient photos without consent and do not turn someone's experience into advertising.

  • we do not state diagnoses, treatment schemes or private circumstances;
  • we may change the name or the format of the signature;
  • we do not promise the same result for everyone;
  • we mark reviews as anonymised or received through the form;
  • we keep the focus on a safe first step.

Questions about reviews

Are all reviews published with real names?

No. In addiction-related topics confidentiality matters more than publicity, so names may be shortened, changed or replaced with a neutral signature.

Can a review be left confidential?

Yes. You can leave a callback contact without publishing personal data. We do not disclose information about a contact without consent.

Do reviews guarantee the same result?

No. Each person's experience is individual. The result depends on the condition, motivation, the chosen form of help, further support and the family's involvement.

Why are there no detailed medical stories on the page?

We do not publish diagnoses, treatment schemes, dosages or private circumstances of patients. The reviews show the experience of communication and support.

How do we process reviews before publication?

Before publication we remove personal data, unnecessary medical details, addresses, phone numbers, medication names and details by which a person could be identified.

Can a review be deleted or changed?

Yes. If you recognised your review or want to remove additional details, contact us by phone, on Telegram or through the form on the site.

Are reviews a medical recommendation?

No. Reviews help to understand the experience of contact, but do not replace a consultation with a doctor and are not treatment instructions.

How to quickly can get consultation?

The first contact is available by phone or via Telegram. If there are dangerous symptoms, you need to call emergency medical help.
