Treatment Stages

The first stage of Nazaraliev's complex treatment method is based on the implementation of psychopharmacological therapy and central cholinolytic blockade sessions. (CCLB).

What is psychopharmacological therapy?

Psychopharmacological therapy involves the use of neuroleptics, antidepressants, tranquilizers, immunomodulators and other medical drugs, which are widely used in psychotherapy and drug addiction treatment practice. Apart from those listed above, a general infusion and overall health restorative therapy is conducted.

What is Central Cholinolytic Blockade?

Central Cholinolytic Blockade (CCLB) is the key method for the release of an acute withdrawal syndrome (abstinent syndrome). Broadly speaking, CCLB is the base pharmacotherapeutic method in blocking psycho-physical addiction.

The CCLB method allows for rapid (2 to 6 sessions) ridding of the neurotic signs and symptoms, as well easing the pain and overall psycho-negative condition of the patient. The treatment is administered in the form of a low dose of atropine. Under the influence of atropine the patient is put to sleep for a few hours (2-3 hours). As a result, the patient becomes more psychologically flexible, which increases the opportunity to conduct psychotherapeutic work in the future more effectively.

Is it dangerous?

We have conducted over 100,000 Central Cholinolytic Blockade sessions. The dosage of the drug is assigned and used individually. During the artificial sleep session, patients are observed by professional anesthesiologist-resuscitators and psychotherapists who control the process, and the procedure is conducted in an intensive care department. No negative influences on the human body or mind were observed in our clinic in the last 25 years of practical experience.

Why is it needed?

The aim of this stage is the painless and rapid release of an acute abstinence syndrome, and the suppression of pathological cravings. The patient’s body is cleared of toxins and decaying products, their condition stabilizes and a state of adequate psychological form is attained. The patient will then be ready for the next treatment stages.

Additional Procedures

In addition to all the procedures, patients receive:

• Plasmapheresis and Hyperbaric Oxygenation, which helps to replenish the lack of oxygen in the body
• Transcranial Electrostimulation
• Acupuncture
• Medical Massage
• Manual Therapy
• Immune Modulating Therapy
• Medical White Mud Treatment and Sauna
• All of these procedures help to rid neurotic symptoms and strengthen the overall physical health of the patient, thus normalizing their metabolic processes.

DURING THE SECOND STAGE OF TREATMENT BEHAVIORAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CORRECTION IS CONDUCTED. NEARBY TO THE REHABILITATION FACILITY, ON THE MOUNTAIN OF SALVATION CALLED "TASHTAR-ATA", A HAND MADE PILE OF STONES SURROUNDED BY FOUR PAGODAS (CHRISTIAN, MUSLIM, BUDDHIST AND JUDAISM) EXISTS. PATIENTS COME HERE TO THINK OF AND EVALUATE THEIR LIVES, PRAY AND PERFORM SYMBOLIC RITUALS. PRAYERS CAN BE DESCRIBED AND USED AS ONE OF THE APPROACHES IN TRANSPERSONAL PSYCHOTHERAPY. AT THE MOUNTAIN OF SALVATION PATIENTS ARE INTRODUCED TO THE NEXT TREATMENT STAGE: "MINDCRAFTING".

What is MindCrafting?

"MindCrafting" is a new terminology in psychotherapy, literally meaning crafting the mind. "MindCrafting" is a psychotherapeutic synthesis of Eastern spiritual and philosophical approaches to medicine, and Western pragmatic scientific techniques. The aim of "MindCrafting" is to help patients obtain a wholeness of consciousness to sustain his/her psychological state, by strengthening mental health, thus allowing the patient to rediscover their confidence and abilities. "MindCrafting" opens new horizons for self-development and enables one to learn the anti-relapse techniques.

Where is the program conducted?

The program is conducted at the yurt camp Ak-Tengir (White Space) located on the lake Issyk-Kul. This place is popular for its healing waters, medical clay, fresh mountain air and sunny weather. Ak-Tengir has everything to heal the body and spirit. Patients live in comfortable handmade yurts (traditional Kyrgyz houses used by nomads), and the rounded yurts create harmony and balance with Mother Nature, thus providing psychological comfort. The sauna (bania) located in one of these yurts at the lake shore helps to further clear the body of toxins and decaying products in the most unique way.

Additional Procedures

In our clinic doctors conduct group and individual psychotherapy – using the Hellinger arrangement. Transactional analyses, body-oriented therapy, art-therapy and personal growth groups. The innovative psycho-technique “The Labyrinth” is aimed at working with a traumatic past and the patient's memory. In order to ease the psycho and physical state of the patient, patients are additionally sent on trips to beautiful and sacred places around the lake.

AFTER COMPLETING THE FIRST TWO TREATMENT STAGES, THE PATIENT IS EVALUATED BY A MEDICAL COMMISSION AND THEN ASSIGNED EITHER STRESS ENERGETIC PSYCHOTHERAPY OR A PILGRIMAGE TO THE SALVATION MOUNTAIN TASHTAR-ATA. 

THE THIRD STAGE IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN THE RESULTS OF TREATMENT. PATIENTS LEAVE NEGATIVE MEMORIES BEHIND AND STEP INTO A NEW, DRUG-FREE LIFE.
