Detox Relief of Acute Withdrawal Syndrome by the Method of Comatose Therapy.
The theoretical knowledge and justification of the method are based on modern scientific achievements in neurology, psychiatry and substance abuse treatment.
This work is based on sixteen (16) years of practical experience in using atropine while treating opiate addiction which was known as being used in treatment of psychopathologic and compulsive obsessions in psychiatric and addiction treatment practices.
At the very beginning, after the patient's admittance to the hospital, Atropine Comatose Therapy Session, which is a constituent part of the therapeutic block, is carried out.
Atropine Comatose therapy helps patients attain a rapid decrease in physical and mental drug dependence. It assists in conducting the correction of psychopathological dysfunctions, and brings to normal all somato-neurological imbalances.
Atropine Comatose Therapy mechanism is based on Cholinolitic approach which is effecting neuro-mediatory processes of Central Nervous System. The activation of symptomatic reactions appearing in the process of Cholinolitic Blockade brings neuro-mediatory and hormone interrelation to change, the stimulation of homeostasis compensatory mechanism, adaptation of biologic and physiologic systems and induces organism adaptation processes to free-of-drugs functioning.
The distinction of Atropine Comatose Therapy is the realization of "pendulum effect" on Central Nervous System of Cholinolitic (atropine) and cholinomimetics (eserine, galanthamine, aminostigmine) during the after-session period. The postponed influence of atropine creates a long perfunctory effect (with general duration up to 12 hours and longer), and gives an effects of periodical "swinging" of neuro-mediatory processes. As a result, the reconstruction of adapted biochemical mechanisms in neuron and "the norm of psychobiological pathology" change its character. The base for auto-regulatory positive reconstructions and favorable atmosphere for further adequate psychotherapy work with the patient is formed.
The general aim of using Atropine Comatose therapies is the formation of a well planned generalized stress reaction and its stable retention in the frames of certain temporal and physiological parameters, without allowing the development of beyond-limit hyper-dynamic reactions of functional systems.
