Drugdetoxeasy patient routine
1. The day begins with a morning visit, i.e. the medical team visits
each patient. Doctors ask patients how they slept, how they
spent the night and how they feel. During the visit, doctors
evaluate the physical and mental condition of patients, make
analyses and describe the procedures and activities that the
patient will have during the day.
2. After the medical visit and breakfast, patients receive an infusion
and undergo procedures.
After that, they continue working with the psychological team
(psychologists and specialized pedagogues), who perform
individual activities with each patient, including psycho-diagnostic,
education and analysis of treatment results.
3. After patients have their infusions and complete the special
procedures, they go to a thematic group with the participation
of a psychologist. At those groups, patients work on diverse
topics, which represent a problem for them (e.g. family
relationships, conflicts, friendship, trust, self-confidence and
many more).
4. In the afternoon, patients have recreational and
occupational activities. They can choose between
going to the gym, playing billiards or table tennis,
enjoying home theater or a play station, walking
with a psychologist or carrying out activities in the
garden (grill, social activities, going to a restaurant
etc.).
5. Educational group
In the evening, patients go to an educational group with the
participation of a psychologist. There, patients have the chance
of learning more, in a pedagogical way, about their disease and
the way of dealing with their addiction. At the educational
group, a projector is used to present educational topics to
patients and help them understand better the essence of their
disease.
6. Workshops & Phone calls
After dinner, patients participate in workshops, where they have
the chance of sharing their personal experience in the
interaction with other members of the group and the
psychologist (role play, visual techniques and creative
techniques), within the different applied psychotherapeutic
techniques.
Patients have the right to call their relatives by phone, with the
permission and in the presence of a psychologist or a special
pedagogue.
