Alcoholism - a disease which is now recognized as a scourge of our society.
A person suffering from alcohol dependence, are often unable to cope with the problem, because alcohol inhibits the willpower. The official medicine can not offer treatment of this disease, but there is an alternative - coding of alcoholic dependence. About encoding heard everything, even those who did not have friends and relatives with such dependence, but not all are what is behind this word.
In Addiction, the term "coding" ("encoding") is a generic and refers to methods of suggestion, whose purpose is the treatment of alcoholism or drug addiction in a single session. All of these methods are related to the fact that the patient fearsome threat of death in the case of reception of alcohol or drugs. Many professionals involved in the coding of alcoholic dependence, understand the term is much broader.
Today, there are three types of coding:
With the help of psychotherapy: lectures, videos, conversations with the doctor. It is rarely used alone, as in this case, a person must have a strong desire to stop drinking, and a strong will. This includes the so-called method Dovzhenko, who was created in the Soviet Union in the 80s of XX century.
With the help of instrumental effects: magnetic resonance, and laser therapy. By using hardware techniques unloaded locus of excitation in the central nervous system that occurs when taking alcoholic drinks. And pathological craving for alcohol disappears.
Using pharmacological effects: drugs "Torpedo", "block", "Esperal." They provoke a person up to the unpleasant symptoms of suffocation and spasms after drinking alcohol.

The basis of this method is introduced into the human body of certain medications that increase sensitivity to alcohol, his intolerance. Craving for alcohol is not suppressed, but the reception physically unpleasant or impossible. This method of exposure may be used no more than 3 times as with time the body gets used to the action of these drugs and ceases to respond to them. Before starting the drug is mandatory not to drink from 3 to 7 days. The method is divided into several subtypes:
Intravenous blocking. Drugs such as "Torpedo" and its variants are administered intravenously. All the drugs used for this coding for alcohol dependence, differ from each other only by the amount of active ingredient. Therefore, we can be coded for a period of 1 to 3 years. They take effect 30 minutes after administration. With this encoding human provocations after entering the drug that he felt the unpleasant symptoms that accompany alcohol intake.
Intramuscular lock. With this type of encryption products, for example, "Esperal-gel", "Vivitrol", "Delfizon" administered intramuscularly. The advantage of this method over intravenous blocking is that the drug enters the bloodstream through the 1, 5-2 hours, and its effect is softer.
Subcutaneous lock. The drug, for example, "Narkoron" sewn under the skin in the area of the blade. The impact is similar to the intramuscular blocking: starts to act through 1, 5 hours, has a benign manifestations.

This does not only make you closer with your child, but also increase his confidence, and the child will be more willing to follow the advice of their parents and share with them their experiences.

But if the child is still faced with the kind of information you need in an accessible way to try to explain why this information is dangerous for him, and why he should not aspire to the knowledge of it. Definitive the ban without explanation only increase the child's interest in the ban information, and the existence of the ban would be an obstacle, making it impossible to discuss the problem with their parents for the child.
