The Bekhterev Institute is a medical institution that has been engaged in clinical practice for many years and this state institution specializes in the field of psychotherapy, neurology, psychiatry, narcology, psychodiagnostics, gerontopsychiatry and neurosurgery. The staff of this medical institution consists mainly of highly qualified specialists - and doctors.
History of the Institute's creation
Psychoneurological Institute named after. Bekhterev was created by an academician, an outstanding Russian psychiatrist, the founder of the pathopsychological direction and reflexology in Russia - Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev. It was he who organized it in 1907 as a research and higher education institution. For many years, the Bekhterev Institute was the only institution in Russia that successfully combined clinical and pedagogical activities. Vladimir Mikhailovich rightly believed that for the future practical and scientific work of absolutely any doctor it is necessary to receive not only medical, but also legal and philosophical education.
The first stage in the life of the Institute
In 1911, the Bekhterev Institute in St. Petersburg, for the first time in Russian medical practice, organized and conducted so-called refresher courses for specialists in the field of neuropathology and psychiatry. Lectures on the latest discoveries and advances affecting these industries were given by leading clinicians over a full six weeks. Twenty-five doctors received appropriate training at these first advanced training courses in the history of Russian medicine. In addition, training programs of this type have been prepared for doctors of other specialties. Unfortunately, the war that began in 1914 did not allow Vladimir Mikhailovich to implement this project.
The second stage in the life of the Institute
In 1919, the Bekhterev Institute was reorganized. The presented educational faculties, in accordance with the relevant order, were transformed into such higher educational institutions as, for example, the St. Petersburg Chemical-Pharmaceutical Academy, and became the base of several. It was the Bekhterev Institute in the former USSR that became the first institution whose activities were aimed at the development of psychotherapy and revival of clinical psychology in Russia. Since 1993, this medical institution has been the basis of the World Health Organization in the field of scientific research, training of professional personnel and organization of psychoneurological care. In 2001, as a tribute to historical tradition, the Training Center was recreated at the Institute, which today carries out the educational activities of the Institute and is the leading one in the country.
Natalya Bekhtereva and the Brain Institute
Speaking about Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev and his main brainchild, it is impossible not to mention Natalya Petrovna Bekhtereva, the granddaughter of a famous academician. She followed in his footsteps and graduated from Leningrad in 1947. Natalya Petrovna was very interested in the works of Bekhterev and subsequently wrote more than one book herself. In 1992, she was appointed head of the scientific group of neurophysiology of consciousness, creativity and thinking at the Institute of the Human Brain of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the latter, by the way, at that time was called the Bekhtereva Institute. In addition, Natalya Petrovna worked for a long time at the Research University of Experimental Medicine. If we talk about the main contribution that the granddaughter of a famous academician left in the field of medicine, then this is a scientific school in the field of physiology of the human brain. It was Natalya Bekhtereva who created it in her time. The Brain Institute, the place of her last work, helped in many ways and allowed her to lay the foundations for future fundamental research.

Principles of detoxification in the treatment of drug addiction
The main principle of detoxification for drug addiction is an integrated approach to solving the problem. Each patient is individual, and you cannot begin detoxification measures without a detailed comprehensive examination of the body.
Treatment of drug addiction requires a complete cessation of drug use, which is accompanied by withdrawal symptoms. Patients experience extremely pronounced pain in the muscles, joints, bones, persistent insomnia, headaches, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea - and all these symptoms are accompanied by a feeling of fear and despair. The addict is driven by the desire to find a way to buy the drug and drown out his suffering at any cost.
The detoxification process takes up to 8-10 days, and specialists use various drugs and techniques to help survive drug withdrawal, including powerful analgesics, sleeping pills, drugs that eliminate cravings for drugs, as well as drugs that support and restore the functioning of cells throughout the body. body, primarily the liver, heart muscle, kidneys, and nervous system. Multivitamins and restorative medications are also prescribed. It is important to take a comprehensive approach to the detoxification process, because the outcome of all drug treatment depends on the quality of the procedures used.
Techniques for providing rehabilitation assistance to drug addicts
At our institute, all patients go through several important stages, thanks to which the rehabilitation of drug addicts gives a long-term (often lifelong) positive result. The following points can be highlighted in drug addiction treatment tactics:
active therapy begins only after the preparatory stage: experienced psychotherapists work with patients, who set the patient up for a long period of addiction treatment, allowing him to understand the full value of a normal life, without pathological addictions;
Rehabilitation and drug treatment assistance is based on an individually selected program that affects absolutely all areas of the patient’s life, changes his worldview, allows him to return to society as a protected and absolutely full-fledged person, confident that there will be no more drugs in his life;
active socialization and anti-relapse therapy prevent the development of relapses, and high-quality medical care restores disrupted processes in the patient’s body.
