Description

The method relates to medicine, in particular to psychotherapy, narcology and psychiatry, and can be used to treat alcoholism.

The method allows to increase the effectiveness of treatment for alcoholism.

Alcohol addiction is one of the oldest, most dangerous diseases of the civilized world. As soon as people began to master the production of alcohol, this temptation appeared in society. Today, this addiction is relentlessly fought around the world. The active spread of alcoholism in Russia today also cannot but scare.

In this relation to alcohol (alcohol is a holiday companion) there is a main danger of the spread of dependence. Since childhood, a strong connection has been formed in our minds between drinking and joy, pleasure, and a feeling of the solemnity of the moment. That is why most Russians are trying to improve their mood with the help of alcohol, causing long-established associations. The statistics are horrifying: most modern youth are loyal to drinking, not only on holidays, but also on weekdays. For every 2.5 million Russian citizens, 100 thousand are addicted to alcohol. And this is only official data, that is, people who applied for help or registered are counted.

The amount of alcohol consumed per year per capita is 18 liters. According to experts of the World Health Organization, exceeding the permissible level of alcohol consumption (8.0 liters of absolute alcohol per year per capita) is extremely dangerous for the health of the nation.

In 2012, for the first time in their life, 122792 patients with alcoholism (including alcoholic psychoses) applied for narcological help. The primary incidence rate of alcoholism in this case amounted to 85.83 patients per 100 thousand people.

Alcohol affects all body systems and significantly reduces the life expectancy of people in the most active, creative age.

However, to date, there remains a deficit of methods that allow treating alcohol dependence with a high degree of reliability.

A method for the treatment of chronic alcoholism is described (Pat. RF No. 2018326, M. Cl. A.61M 21/00, publ. Bull. No. 16 from 08.30.94), in which rational psychotherapy is carried out, the motivation for treatment is reinforced, after 10-14 days after abstinence from alcohol, a group psychotherapy session is carried out, and twice during the session using various induction methods they introduce patients into a state of superficial hypnosis, continue suggestion aimed at refusing alcohol, and complete it with the suggestion formula, then conduct an individual psychotherapy session, n which, at the same time that the coding period is pronounced, affects the reflexogenic zones — they produce mechanical irritation of the superciliary arches, sharply throw the patient’s head back with close mutual fixation of the gaze with the subsequent displacement of the visual axis, while repeating the suggestion formula, sharply turning the head, and removing the auricles, produce light pressure on the eyeballs and, with a sliding movement, irritate the supra- and sub-eyebrows.

The disadvantage of this method is the presence of pain and traumatic factors.

The disadvantage of this method is the use of complex and unsafe for the patient methods of exposure to reflexogenic zones, which not every psychotherapist owns. Moreover, to obtain a good therapeutic effect, he must be highly qualified in the field of reflexology. In addition, such methods of exposure are not suitable for all patients, especially with pathology of the spine, cardiovascular system, cerebrovascular accident, etc. All this limits the possibility of using the method.

There is also known a method of treating alcoholism, including rational psychotherapy, in which, using motivated suggestions, form an attitude for sober life and create iatrogenism for drinking alcohol, form an "alcohol code", irrigating the pharynx and pharyngeal space with a drug and associating the sensations with inspiring fear of the use of alcohol (US Pat. RF No. 2057549, M. Cl. A.61M 21/00, A61K 35/64 from 12/26/91, publ. BI No. 10 from 04/10/96). The disadvantages of this method is the suppression of the conditioned reflex "alcohol code" when eating, the orientation to complete abstinence from alcohol.

The closest analogue (prototype) is a method of treating alcoholism, including conducting rational psychotherapy, establishing trustful contact, finding out the purpose of treatment with the patient and motivating instilling an attitude towards sober life, conducting neurolinguistic programming-reframing using the wording “part of the subconscious”, which is proposed to choose new ways of behavior instead of alcohol and take responsibility for the implementation of these methods in the future, with fixing this state with the help of a kinesthetic conditional stimulus. At the second session, neuro-linguistic programming-reframing is carried out with the formation of an indifferent, indifferent and calm attitude to alcohol. At the third session, they conduct behavioral psychotherapy using the technique of neuro-linguistic programming “Displacement of anchors” with the formation of aversion to alcohol in any life situations. After the third session, an antidepressant-profluzac is prescribed, 20 mg once a day, 20 days (US Pat. RF No. 2277941, C2, M. Cl. A.61M 21/00, publ. Bull. No. 17 dated 06/20/2006) .

The disadvantage of the prototype is that it helps only for a short period of time to give up alcohol and does not fix the result for a longer period, which reduces the effectiveness of the treatment.

The objective of the present invention is to increase the effectiveness of the treatment of alcoholism with the formation of a new stereotype of behavior for sober life with fixing the result for a longer period due to the recognition by patients of the impossibility of drinking alcohol in connection with the immediate onset of a subjectively intolerable state.

The task is achieved by a method of treating alcohol addiction, including rational psychotherapy with establishing confidential contact, ascertaining the purpose of treatment with the patient and motivating instilling an attitude towards sober life, conducting neuro-linguistic programming "Anchor Offset", with the formation of an aversion to alcohol, prescribing medication.

Before conducting neurolinguistic programming, a period of abstinence from alcohol is prescribed for 5-7 days. A patient is tested for abstinence from alcohol by taking 3 drops of Colme in 50 ml of water. In response to a negative reaction of the body to taking the drug, they suggest repeating the period of abstinence from alcohol. With a negative reaction to taking the drug, a neuro-linguistic programming session "Anchor Displacement" is carried out. After 3 months, a support visit is prescribed, during which the patient undergoes indirect psychotherapy potentiation, on which they are convinced that in order to consolidate sobriety and lack of craving for drinking for many years, medication is necessary and Colme is prescribed 3 drops 2 times a day for 3 months , explain to the patient that this drug reduces the metabolism of ethanol and, when trying to drink alcohol, will cause a persistent negative rejection reaction, expressed in the immediate onset of a severe, subjectively difficult wearable condition, convince that the consumption of alcohol is impossible. Then, after 6 months, indirect mediation psychotherapy is carried out, during which it is suggested to the patient that he will be given a drug alkoblocker that is effective for supporting therapy and preventing relapse of the disease, the drug cleanses the liver, increases alcohol immunity, increases remission, and ensures that all recipes are aimed at rejection of alcohol-containing products, and alcohol passes into the category of allergic irritants, a placebo alkoblocker, which is used as uovit within 20 days. After 1 year, a support visit is prescribed, on which indirect medication is repeated mediation with repeated suggestion and the introduction of a placebo alkoblocker in the buttock of water for injection of 2.5 ml.

For men, “Duovit for men” is prescribed; for women, “Duovit for women” is prescribed orally in the morning after eating 1 red dragee and 1 blue dragee per day.

The novelty of the method

- Before conducting neurolinguistic programming, “Anchor Displacement”, a period of abstinence from alcohol of 5-7 days is prescribed. A patient is tested for abstinence from alcohol by taking 3 drops of Colme in 50 ml of water. In response to a negative reaction of the patient to taking the drug, they suggest repeating the period of abstinence from alcohol. This increases the effectiveness of further psychotherapeutic effects, motivation for treatment, since in case of sobriety violation the patient experiences the immediate onset of a serious, subjectively intolerable state, makes sure that alcohol consumption is impossible.

- In the absence of a reaction to taking Colme's drug, the technique of neuro-linguistic programming "Anchor Displacement" is carried out, which enhances an indifferent, indifferent and calm attitude to alcohol.

- After 3 months, a support visit is prescribed, during which the patient undergoes indirect psychotherapy potentiation, they ask how are you, praise for sobriety, convince that to consolidate this condition and lack of craving for drinking for many years, you need to take Colma 3 drops 2 times per day for 3 months, explain to the patient the effect of the drug. With many months of forced abstinence from alcohol, the pathological attraction to intoxication decreases or completely disappears, and in some cases there is an aversion to the sight and smell of alcohol. The patient independently decides to be treated with Colme.

- Then, after 6 months, indirect mediation psychotherapy is carried out, during which it is suggested to the patient that he will be given a drug alkoblocker that is effective for supporting therapy and preventing relapse of the disease, the drug cleanses the liver, increases immunity to alcohol, increases remission, and ensures that everything recipes are aimed at rejection of alcohol-containing products, and alcohol passes into the category of allergic irritants, a placebo alkoblocker is prescribed, which is used as Duovit for 20 days. For men, “Duovit for men” is prescribed; for women, “Duovit for women” is prescribed orally in the morning after eating 1 red dragee and 1 blue dragee per day. Restores health, undermined by alcoholism, improves well-being, which inspires the patient to treatment and sobriety.

- After 1 year, a support visit is prescribed, on which indirect medication is repeated mediation with repeated suggestion and the introduction of a placebo alkoblocker in the buttock of water for injection of 2.5 ml, we extend the treatment period without drug exposure.

The set of essential features of the invention allows to obtain a new technical result:

To increase the effectiveness of treatment with improving quality and increasing the period of remission by enhancing the psychotherapeutic effect of taking a medication that is aimed at getting rid of alcohol dependence, causes a negative reaction to alcohol intake, prolonging the effect of psychotherapeutic and medication effects due to placebo, improving overall well-being, general immunity due to the use of placebo-Duovit, many months of forced abstinence from alcohol completely cures pathological drives e to intoxication.

- The method is available to most people, it is harmless, does not give side effects.

- The method can be successfully used in medical institutions of any type.

- Improving the effectiveness of the treatment of alcoholism through support visits using placebo, which do not give a drug load on the body.

- Conducting indirect psychotherapy potentiation and mediation increases the patient's faith in a positive result of treatment.

- Support visits after 3, 6 months and a year later fix the result for a longer period, which increases the duration and quality of remission.

- The combination of signs allows to generally improve the effectiveness of treatment and quality of life.

Clarification of the causes and their elimination at the psychological level allows not only to increase the effectiveness of the treatment of pathological drives with the formation of a new stereotype of behavior, but also to maintain the result.

Conducting rational psychotherapy with the establishment of confidential contact, clarification of the purpose of treatment with the patient and motivated suggestion of a sober attitude helps the patient to independently decide to be treated with Colme and undergo a course of psychotherapeutic treatment.

The technique “Anchor displacement” allows not only to form an indifferent and indifferent attitude towards it, but also to consolidate the result for a long time when developing a physiological aversion to alcohol and its quantity.

Indirect psychotherapy allows you to develop a conditioned reflex, thanks to which, instead of the pleasure of alcohol, a person will feel only a negative reaction. Methods of indirect psychotherapy ("hidden suggestion") are psychotherapeutic potentiation and mediation. The essence of the first is to enhance, with the help of direct and hidden suggestion, the effects of real therapeutic factors - medicines, physiotherapy, etc. In our method, we use two drugs as a placebo. We strengthen the action of the anti-alcoholic drug Colme, forming the patient's opinion about the drug, an emotionally positive attitude towards the upcoming treatment, and the reaction of waiting for the therapeutic effect of the drug.

The drug Colme contains the active substance cyanamide. Manufacturer Faes Farma, S.A. Spain, Spain. Pharmacological action - anti-alcohol. Inhibits acetaldehyde dehydrogenase involved in the metabolism of ethyl alcohol. It helps to increase the concentration of the metabolite of ethyl alcohol - acetaldehyde, which causes negative sensations that make the use of alcohol unpleasant, which leads to conditioned reflex aversion to the taste and smell of alcoholic beverages. Taking the drug is accompanied by good health if you are not drinking alcohol. Reaction to alcohol: flushing of the face, "pulsation" in the head and neck, nausea, tachycardia, shortness of breath, weakness, profuse sweating, etc.

The second method of indirect psychotherapy consists in giving, with the help of a psychic effect on the patient, healing properties to activities that do not have such (placebo effect) (Karvasara BD, 2007).

We inspire the patient that he will be given a drug alkoblocker, which is effective for maintenance therapy and to prevent relapse of the disease. Brain blocker (inhibitor) of opioid receptors. The principle of its action lies in binding to these structures, which protects them from the irritating effect of alcohol. The thing is that the opioid receptors responsible for the formation of euphoria, which is noted when intoxicated, can release special substances only if they are in a free state. Their block leads to the absence of a similar effect. A placebo is a therapeutic suggestion that does not require any special skills, as the criticality of consciousness (“I do not believe”) is overcome by linking the suggested information to the actual object, in this case, the injection without any real impact on the body. The patient is informed that this drug has a certain effect on the body, cleanses the liver, increases the body's immunity to alcohol, increases remissions, helps all receptors to reject alcohol-containing products, and alcohol goes into the category of the strongest allergic irritants. And, despite the "dummy", the expected action is manifested. Physiologically, this is due to the fact that, as a result of suggestion, the patient’s brain begins to produce substances corresponding to this action, in particular endorphins, which essentially partially replace the need to consume alcohol. The second factor that ensures the effectiveness of placebo is to increase the general immunity, the “protective forces” of a person and improve overall well-being, this is a psychotherapeutic effect on the patient in order to rid him of psychological dependence on alcohol. The effect of indirect psychotherapy mediation (placebo) is such that after an explanation a conditioned reflex is developed in a person, thanks to which, instead of pleasure from alcohol, a person will only feel a negative reaction. As soon as a person understands that alcohol is bad, his body will begin to cope with physiological problems himself, the patient’s beliefs are mobilized, which helps to consolidate sobriety. As a placebo, we use the balanced Duovit ^® complex, a combined dietary supplement that contains 12 vitamins and 6 minerals, produced by Krka Slovenia.

Duovit contains vitamins and minerals that help protect body cells from oxidative processes and premature aging, help reduce the risk of anemia and osteoporosis, and support the health and beauty of hair, skin, and nails.

Vitamin A helps maintain the proper functioning of the retina.

Thiamine is part of a large number of different enzymes that extract energy from consumed food, and activates metabolic processes in the body.

Riboflavin is a powerful antioxidant.

Vitamin B3 (nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, niacin) is involved in cellular respiration.

Pantothenic acid is necessary for the synthesis of hemoglobin, the production of cholesterol, fats and a number of hormones.

Vitamin B6 is a catalyst for many chemical reactions that take place in the body. Participates in the biosynthesis of serotonin.

Vitamin B9 is indispensable for hematopoiesis.

Vitamin B12 is involved in tissue regeneration processes.

Ascorbic acid - effectively removes toxins from the body, including the decay products of ethanol and cigarette smoke.

Calciferol maintains proper bone density.

Vitamin E protects cells from free radicals.

Biotin is a powerful catalyst for many well-known biochemical processes.

Minerals in the composition of Duovit are involved in the regulation of vital processes in the body.

The method is as follows.

When a patient contacts with complaints of loss of control when drinking alcohol, rational psychotherapy is carried out to recognize the patient’s problem, and establish a confidential contact at the conscious and subconscious levels.

The patient is sitting in a chair, he is offered to take a comfortable pose, after which the patient sets out the desired result: live without alcohol.

The first session of rational psychotherapy is carried out using psychological methods of persuasion, strengthening the patient's confidence in achieving the desired result.

This is carried out with the help of questions aimed at assessing the patient’s present ideas about his condition, specifying the history of the disease, clarifying the purpose of treatment: “What is alcoholism? What are its consequences? How to deal with it? Do you have any treatment experience, which one? Is there a focus on a complete rejection of alcohol? What are the benefits of quitting alcohol? What will change in life? How much did you spend on alcohol? ” They form an active positive socially significant motivation to achieve the ultimate goal - to live without alcohol.

The first step for a better understanding and awareness of the problem is explained to the patient the mechanisms of the development of the disease and the occurrence of a pathological condition. For example, alcoholism is a serious illness, around which there are many different rumors, stereotypes, and fairy tales. The greatest misconception regarding alcoholism is perhaps that it is treated as a kind of permissiveness, licentiousness in social terms. And few people understand that this is a serious disease that changes the metabolism in the body so much that a person is not able to stop after the first glass.

Alcohol intake leads to a gradual devastation of personality. The greatest changes occur in the emotional and volitional spheres. People who use alcohol become self-absorbed, insincere, deceitful. They lose not only their moral instinct, but also aesthetic principles, often become unscrupulous, and start their own economic and professional affairs. Alcoholism is a terrible disease, because it is not transmitted either by the virus or sexually, but arises solely thanks to your efforts: a glass of vodka is brought, oddly enough, to your own hands to your mouth. Endogenous ethanol (EE) is dissolved in the blood of every person. The level of EE concentration in each person is different, but for each person it has a constant value. Our health is subject to the laws of homeostasis (constancy of the internal environment). Blood alcohol concentration is one of the factors supporting this constancy. When a person drinks excessively for several years, the level of EE in his blood often changes, he is unbalanced. When the level of EE in the blood falls to the “zero mark”, “delirium tremens” can develop - alcoholic psychosis, epileptoid seizures of an alcoholic nature.

A period of abstinence from alcohol is prescribed for 5-7 days, a patient is tested for abstinence from alcohol by the patient using 3 drops of Colme in 50 ml of water. In response to an adverse reaction of the body to taking the drug (flushing of the face, "pulsation" in the head and neck, nausea, tachycardia, shortness of breath, weakness, excessive sweating, etc.), they suggest repeating the period of abstinence from alcohol.

In the absence of a reaction to taking Colme's drug, the Anchor Shift technique is carried out with the formation of an indifferent, indifferent and calm attitude to alcohol. The patient is invited on the left hand (if he is right-handed, the left-hander is offered the opposite) to present a vessel (a glass, a glass, a bottle, a mug) with vodka or other favorite alcoholic beverage, and on the right - vomit. After the visualization of what is being discussed and the facial expressions (expressive movements of the muscles of the face) that demonstrates disgust, the hands join together, which enhances the expression of disgust on the face. Then the doctor as a psychotherapist asks: “What do you want to do with your hands?”, Most often the patient answers: “Wash.” The doctor suggests washing your hands.

The duration of a psychotherapeutic session is an hour and a half.

Then a supportive treatment is carried out, after 3 months a support visit is prescribed, during which the patient is given indirect psychotherapy potentiation, sobriety is strengthened, by prescribing 3 drops 2 times a day for 3 months of Colma. During the visit, they ask how things are, praise for sobriety, convince that to consolidate this condition and lack of craving for drinking for many years, you need to take the drug Colme, since this drug reduces the metabolism of ethanol, which when trying to drink alcohol will cause a persistent rejection reaction , expressed in the immediate onset of a serious, subjectively intolerable state, convince that the consumption of alcohol is impossible.

Then, after 6 months, indirect mediation psychotherapy is performed. The patient is told that they are given a new drug, an anti-blocker, which is effective for supporting therapy and preventing relapse. It is said that this drug plays an important role in metabolic processes, cleanses the liver, effectively removes toxins, including ethanol decay products, increases alcohol immunity, increases remission, and alcohol passes into the category of the strongest allergic irritants. Two vials with red and blue tablets are dispensed, on which there is no information about the drug. For men give out "Duovit for men." A placebo-Duovit is administered orally in the morning after eating, 1 red dragee and 1 blue dragee per day.

After 1 year, a support visit is prescribed, on which indirect mediation psychotherapy is carried out. The patient is told that another alkoblocker will be injected into the buttock, which is effective for supporting therapy and preventing relapse. Placebo is injected into the buttock with placebo water for injection 2.5 ml.

Example 1. Patient "A" 44 years old, the seller. Tolerance to alcohol is high. Addiction syndrome since 22 years. It was treated several times. Remission up to 6 months.

When handling: the nature of drunkenness is drunken, drinks 5-7 days at 15 day intervals.

Diagnosis: chronic alcoholism of the 2nd degree in the form of drunken drunkenness.

In somatic status: blood pressure 120/80 mmHg, pulse 65 beats per minute, the liver is sensitive to palpation, the borders of the heart are dilated, tachycardia, heart sounds are muffled, shortness of breath when climbing stairs.

In neurological status: tremor of fingers of outstretched arms, staggering in the Romberg position, difficult to perform finger test, high tendon reflexes, pronounced dermographism.

In mental status: a tendency to depression, when questioning intellectual disorders were not detected. Concomitant pathology from the central nervous system, injuries, no operations.

Upon treatment, the patient expressed a desire to give up alcohol. Rational psychotherapy was carried out, the doctor explained the mechanisms of the development of the disease and the occurrence of a pathological condition. Alcoholism is a serious illness, around which there are many different rumors, stereotypes, and fairy tales. The greatest misconception regarding alcoholism is, perhaps, that it is treated as a kind of permissiveness, licentiousness in social terms. And few people understand that this is a serious disease that changes the metabolism in the body so much that a person is not able to stop after the first glass.

Alcohol intake leads to a gradual devastation of personality. The greatest changes occur in the emotional and volitional spheres. People who use alcohol become self-absorbed, insincere, deceitful. They lose not only their moral instinct, but also aesthetic principles, often become unscrupulous, and start their own economic and professional affairs. Alcoholism is a terrible disease, because it is not transmitted either by the virus or sexually, but arises solely thanks to your efforts: a glass of vodka is brought, oddly enough, to your own hands to your mouth.

Our health is subject to the laws of homeostasis (constancy of the internal environment). Blood alcohol concentration is one of the factors supporting this constancy. When a person drinks excessively for several years, the level of EE in his blood often changes, his imbalance changes. When the level of EE in the blood falls to the “zero mark”, “delirium tremens” can develop - alcoholic psychosis, epileptic seizures of an alcoholic nature. The material base of the family suffers; on average, a drinker spends 30 to 300 thousand rubles on alcohol per year.

The patient was warned about the consequences and complications of drug treatment with Colma. The reaction to alcohol can be caused by the use of alcohol-containing products (medicines and food). A period of abstinence from alcohol was prescribed for 7 days, and a patient was tested for abstinence from alcohol by taking 3 drops of Colme in 50 ml of water. The body received a negative reaction to taking the drug: a rush of blood to the face, shortness of breath, weakness, profuse sweating, etc. The patient received a negative experience of unpleasant sensations in case of treatment violation. They suggested repeating the period of abstinence from alcohol for another 7 days. The patient was reminded that she independently decided to be treated with Colma and must fulfill all the requirements for its admission. The patient is again tested for abstinence from alcohol by the patient taking 3 drops of Colme in 50 ml of water. There was no response to Colma.

Then they conduct behavioral psychotherapy, use the “Anchor Shift” technique with the formation of an indifferent, indifferent and calm attitude to alcohol. The patient is invited to present on the left hand a vessel (a glass, a glass, a bottle, a mug) with vodka or another favorite alcoholic beverage, and on the right hand - vomit. After the visualization of what is being discussed and the facial expressions (expressive movements of the muscles of the face) that demonstrates disgust, the hands join together, which enhances the expression of disgust on the face. Then the doctor as a psychotherapist asks: “What do you want to do with your hands?”, The patient replies: “Wash.” The doctor suggests washing your hands.

The duration of a psychotherapeutic session is an hour and a half.

Then a supportive treatment is carried out, after 3 months a support visit is conducted, during which the patient undergoes indirect psychotherapy potentiation, sobriety is strengthened, I appoint 3 drops 2 times a day for 3 months Colma. During the visit, they ask how things are doing, praise for sobriety, convince that to consolidate this condition and lack of craving for a drink for many years, you need to take Colma, since this drug reduces the metabolism of ethanol, which when trying to drink alcohol causes a persistent rejection reaction.

Then, after 6 months, indirect mediation psychotherapy is performed. The patient is told that she is given a new drug, an alkoblocker, which is effective for maintenance therapy and to prevent relapse of the disease. It is said that this drug plays an important role in metabolic processes, cleanses the liver, effectively removes toxins, including ethanol decay products, increases alcohol immunity, increases remission, and alcohol passes into the category of the strongest allergic irritants. Two bottles are given without an inscription with placebo tablets of red and blue color - “Duovit for women”. Assign a placebo orally in the morning after eating 1 red dragee and 1 blue dragee per day.

After 1 year, a support visit is prescribed, on which indirect mediation psychotherapy is carried out. The patient is told that another alkoblocker will be injected into the buttock, which is effective for supporting therapy and preventing relapse. Placebo is injected into the buttock - water for injection 2.5 ml.

Follow-up - after two years, the patient is indifferent to alcohol, feels good, improved her health, family relations returned to normal, she is satisfied with the result of the therapy.

Thus, the proposed method for the treatment of alcoholism is effective, allows to achieve high-quality remission for a long time.

The method is used in a psychiatric hospital in Novokuznetsk.
