To date, the Ruchey center has 13 patients from all over Russia. Pskov residents undergo a rehabilitation course free of charge. Several people ended up here with certificates for rehabilitation.

Residents of the Pskov region suffering from alcohol and drug addiction, can receive free help at the rehabilitation center in the village of Rodovoe, Palkinsky district. According to a correspondent of the Pskov Information Agency, the center has been operating for about a month, now 10 people are receiving support there.
Igor Gerasimov, general director of the network of rehabilitation centers "Ruchey", said that at the church of the Feodorovskaya Icon of the Mother of God in St. Petersburg there is a society of sobriety "Lazarus Saturday". The idea of creating special centers belongs to the inspirers of the society. “The uniqueness of the Center is that alcoholics and drug addicts themselves work here as consultants. I don’t say former, because from the point of view of the concept that we profess, former alcoholics and there are no drug addicts," said Igor Gerasimov.
According to him, the success of rehabilitation is due to the fact that the center has four areas of recovery - biological, psychological, social and spiritual. “Individually, various therapies are provided by many wonderful doctors, centers, but so that everything is collected in one place, in sufficient volume and in desired quality There are few such places in the country," Igor Gerasimov noted.
Spiritual program coordinator of the Center, Orthodox priest Alexander drew attention to the fact that in the church there are all kinds of models of rehabilitation, when a person leaves society for a monastery and lives there as a worker, worker or novice. “There are many rehabilitation centers at churches and monasteries on this base, which give children the opportunity to come to sobriety through God. However, in my opinion, these rehabilitations have a minus in that a person really becomes sober only in this microsociety. they come to their friends, to their families, most of them break down to work," Father Alexander added.
According to him, the synthesis of a bio-, psycho-, socio-spiritual model is the brainchild of many years. The center treats the body - with the help of droppers and recovery procedures. "Psycho" means a twelve-step program adapted to Russia, social adaptation occurs when the children learn to communicate with their parents again, to get a job again. Spirituality is replenished through the Russian Orthodox Church, a person learns to find contact with God.
"The symbiosis of bio, psycho, socio-spiritual rehabilitation and got the name" Creek ". We are distributing this experience throughout the North-West, now also on the Pskov land dependent people can receive an extended spectrum of recovery. "Stream" is one of the projects. Already now in Pskov we are agreeing to open an office for consultations and work with relatives of addicts," the priest said.
Now the organizers and organizers are putting the area around the center in Rodovoe in order, the building of the former noble estate built in 1879 is being repaired, the heating system and rooms for two to four people are being prepared for work. The journalists were told that for three For years the building was empty, and before that there was a summer cottage of the Pechora boarding school. Igor Gerasimov noted that this option was offered to them by the regional administration.
The organizers of the rehabilitation center in the Palkinsky district assume that in the near future the center will be able to accommodate up to 50-60 people. Minimum exchange rate treatment - from 28 days to 3 months. After that, two months are provided for patients social adaptation- the so-called ambulatory treatment"Treatment at the center is free. Both men and women are taken for rehabilitation. Patients from the Karelian branch now live in the center. They were transferred here so that the Pskov residents who come to Rodovoye can get into the well-established rehabilitation process.
The day of the patients of the center is divided into two parts. The pre-lunch half is devoted to information about the disease and methods of dealing with it, because, according to the organizers, a person often comes to them "with a bunch of myths and with his own idea of \u200b\u200bthe disease." The second half of the day is devoted to occupational therapy and lectures on Orthodoxy. In the rules of the "Stream" - a prayer every morning and evening.
The history of one of former patients center "Creek":
I started using drugs at the age of 12. Used them until last year. He was in several rehab centers, was in prison and could only stay sober in closed spaces where there was no drugs or alcohol.
I used everything that was possible - all hard drugs. A year ago I learned about this center and ended up here. I was lying in the center, where I could do whatever I wanted, in the other center, on the contrary, it was tough. Here is something in between that suits me. In addition, here I met God. I was baptized, but I did not believe in God, but here I found faith. It helps to stay sober. Now I work, I have a girlfriend, I really live. Nine months ago I quit smoking, although I have been smoking all my life.
In 2005, the first rehabilitation center was created in the village of Ruchey in the north of the Leningrad Region, since it was there that the temple was located, in which the founder of the center served at that time. Naturally the center adheres Orthodox traditions helping addicts find themselves.
A few years later, the rehabilitation center in Ruchey grew and it became too crowded in a small house in a remote village on the very border with Karelia, where, moreover, it was difficult to get to (not to mention the harsh climate with long winters and summer midges). Therefore, in 2010, it was decided to move. Not far from Pskov, we managed to find a beautiful building of an empty noble estate surrounded by a park, and by agreement with the administration of the Pskov region, a new drug rehabilitation center was opened here in early 2011, retaining the old name - "Ruchey".
Rehabilitation center "Ruchey" is located in a quiet picturesque corner of the Pskov region, 60 kilometers from Pskov, in the village of Rodovoe, Palkinsky district, on the banks of the Vyada River. The territory of the house is surrounded by an old park, there is an apple orchard. Everything is created in the center the necessary conditions to undergo treatment. There is a canteen with 4 meals a day, rooms for 2, 4 and 10 people, a sauna. Transport links make it easy to get to the center.
In a cozy house rehabilitation center we lead a normal sober life, which is greatly helped by live friendly communication with our consultants. All the time that you spend in the center will become work on yourself, gaining or returning the lost life values and connections. Patients in the process of rehabilitation learn that they are sick, not bad, that their illness is not their fault, that their behavior can be immoral, but their illness is not.
After receiving information about the symptoms and causes of their disease, patients begin to take responsibility for their recovery. In the process of rehabilitation, the patient is convinced that in a sober state he can feel better than in a state of intoxication. He remembers, learns and learns from the experience of others to enjoy life in other ways, actively using his personal reserves. Gradually, he will learn to enjoy life without the help of mind-altering substances.
An important part of the center's program is the involvement of Russian priests in work with addicts and their loved ones. Orthodox Church. Conversations with them, acquaintance with the traditions of Orthodoxy contribute to spiritual recovery. We can say that "Stream" is Orthodox center rehabilitation, which is important, given that the use destroys a person in the spiritual sphere. The home chapel was consecrated in honor of St. Alexander of Svir the Wonderworker. Turning to his intercession strengthens the patients and staff of the center in their difficult daily work. Over the years of work, the Rehabilitation Center "Ruchey" has achieved high results in the treatment of alcoholism and drug addiction.
