The whole truth about the "sect" "Center for Healthy Youth"

By dimagrib.livejournal.com11 min

View Original

The modern world is full of sins and temptations, which not everyone can resist. Often, in the fight against alcoholism or drug addiction, a person is doomed to lose if he tries to overcome the disease alone. Increasingly, in order to overcome a bad habit, a person is forced to seek help from rehabilitation centers, one of which is called the Center for Healthy Youth. It's funny, but the number of rumors that the CZM is a "sect" suggests that someone is deliberately trying to destroy the center's reputation by doing a very clumsy order.

It is enough to use the search and drive in the "Center for Healthy Youth", and already in the middle of the first page you will receive purchased negative reviews and even groups in social networks that supposedly oppose the "sect". And one could even believe in all this nonsense, if not for one thing - a good friend of mine was being treated in this rehabilitation center.

Center for Healthy Youth. Personal experience

Yes, I am writing about “personal experience” and the CZM, but this is not entirely true. More precisely, I call it personal, because my good friend, who is very close to me, underwent rehabilitation there. For obvious reasons, I would not like to disclose his name, but the story, in general, is simple and banal.

A person started small, as is usually the case, soft drugs combined with a large amount of alcohol, which later became incompatible with work and personal life. According to the classics of the genre, he was no longer able to understand that he was slowly dragging him to the bottom, and he perceived any attempts to enter into dialogue with him aggressively, believing that these were senseless moralizing.

At that time, I had no experience in such matters. The only thing that I clearly realized was that he was dying, and he had to be saved. The person who then looked after my mother knew about the problems of drug addiction firsthand, he advised me to contact a friend at the Center for Health Care, which I did.

As a result, that is, personal experience, I can say that the comrade returned his family and found a new job. I have no doubts that this is the merit of the Center for Healthy Youth, I doubt that he would have succeeded alone.

Dana Borisova and the Healthy Youth Center in Thailand

Not so long ago, the story of the popular TV presenter Dana Borisova, who for a long time tried to hide her alcohol and drug addiction, died down all over the country. Having broken off after a divorce from her husband, Dana was unable to survive the pain of loss, and set off "all bad", even despite the presence of a 9-year-old daughter in the house. After the little girl found a bag of white powder in the apartment, she decided to seek help from her grandmother.

It was thanks to her efforts that Dana Borisova ended up in one of the rehabilitation centers in Thailand, which, like the CZM, is a member of the National Anti-Drug Union (NAS) and works under the same program. The TV presenter had to be deceived - relatives assured that she was going to host some kind of reality show. Already on the spot, they put a star before the fact: you need to be treated. After long disputes and refusals, Dana agreed to undergo rehabilitation, after which she ended up in Andrei Malakhov's program “Let Them Talk”, where the whole country learned about this story.

Who is trying to kill the reputation of the CZM?

You don't need to be very clever to understand that the custom-made slander against the CZM is the intrigues of competitors. Today information stuffing is the most effective way to get rid of a competitor. Naturally, given the literal sense of the alcohol and drug epidemic in Russia, the number of rehabilitation centers is growing like mushrooms after rain. The market is fiercely competitive, and TsZM Sect is a simple and excellent way to get rid of the main player in the market.

I do not care that "all the rehabilitation centers of the CZM are secular, that is, they do not use elements of any religion in the rehabilitation process," which is stated in plain text even on the official website. I do not care that the TsZM has a bunch of letters of thanks from serious organizations and structures, including Medvedev.

Success is always a headache. If he does not turn the head of the most successful person, then he will definitely turn his envious person. And no matter how ridiculous it may sound, the information war for the health of drug addicts or alcoholics is essentially the same confrontation that is happening between our country and the West, only on a smaller scale. And only honesty and a responsible attitude to their work can win in it.

Who makes money on drug addicts

By narcologos.ru28 min

View Original

The Russian drug addiction rehabilitation market offers a huge choice. You can start a "new life" by signing up for a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, contact a religious organization, or go to a "working house" for labor treatment. According to the estimates of the interlocutors of samizdat, there are about two hundred registered institutions in Russia, more than a thousand unregistered ones, the exact number is unknown. Rehabilitation centers are secular and religious, workers, with or without violence, professional and amateur, cheap and expensive, in the country and abroad, but almost everything is united by the attitude to addicts as to animals. Especially for "Batenka" journalist Evgenia Ofitserova studied the market for paid rehabilitation and found out who and how earns on drug addicts.

It is not known exactly how many private rehabilitation centers there are in Russia. According to the interlocutors of samizdat, there are about two hundred registered institutions in the country, and more than a thousand unregistered ones. According to Rosstat, in 2017, more than 48 thousand people were registered as drug addicts. By the end of the year, 238 thousand were registered. Now this procedure is called dispensary observation, but the essence has not changed: a person must regularly take drug tests for three years. Due to the status of a drug addict, he will be limited in rights, for example, he will not be able to drive a car and get a job in some types of work.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) glossary of terms, withdrawal syndrome - a manifestation of physical dependence on drug use - is accompanied by muscle pain, cramps, insomnia, and depression. It is better to experience this dangerous condition in a medical institution.

Today, there are about 80 state rehabilitation centers throughout Russia. Despite the low quality of services, there are always queues. In some regions, there is no free rehabilitation at all, and private organizations come to an unoccupied but highly demanded niche.

RELIGIOUS REKHABS

The first private centers for addicts appeared almost immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union as an alternative to public hospitals. At first, they were opened by narcologists working in state medicine, and then institutions created by public and religious organizations and foundations appeared.

Today in Russia almost every religious movement has its own rehabilitation center. It all started with the Pentecostals, a Protestant movement who came to Russia in the nineties. In terms of drugs, they turned out to be faster than the ROC and began to actively preach among the addicted, homeless and convicts.

Scientologists came to Russia with the Pentecostals with their Narconon program. It includes detoxification with vitamins, sports and a sauna and the subsequent instilling of "moral values"; according to the narcologist Oleg Zykov, this program is anti-scientific and destructive. Participation in it was paid, like almost all services of the church.

Despite a successful start and rapid growth, these rehabilitation programs in Russia have had a hard time. The Russian Orthodox Church quickly declared both Protestants and Scientologists to be sectarians, while trying to gain a foothold in the rehabilitation market itself. Due to the working methods and pressure of the ROC, a negative reputation developed around Scientologists and Pentecostals, and the movements gradually went underground.

According to the head of one of the network of rehab Ilya (name has been changed), the ROC has become more active in this area over the past eight years. According to official figures, she now has more than 300 church projects to help drug addicts, including 70 rehabilitation centers and 18 resocialization centers. "Usually rehabilitants live in communes, study texts together and run a household. Those who have been rehabilitated are sent to a 'Bible school', where they are trained as pastors, and then sent to another city to plant a church there," says Ilya.

Despite the liquidation of the church in Moscow by a court order, searches in the organization's branches and pressure from the Russian Orthodox Church, Scientology centers with Narconon still exist. Somewhere the price for rehabilitation is not indicated, somewhere it costs 120 thousand a month. After so many years and accusations of sectarianism, Protestants have not disappeared either: today several networks and centers are connected with them: the Homeland without Drugs association, the Healthy City organization in Krasnodar, the Our Future, Svoboda foundations, as well as centers of one from the largest and most influential organizations - the National Anti-Drug Union (NAS) Nikita Lushnikov.

EMPIRE OF US

For many years it has remained one of the largest networks uniting rehabilitation centers throughout the country. Its history began in 2005, when the first Center for Healthy Youth was opened in Belgorod - a rehab for people with alcohol and drug addiction.

One of its founders, boxer, Master of Psychology and Management with veterinary education, Nikita Lushnikov used drugs for seven years until he underwent rehabilitation in the Pentecostal Kingdom of God Church, a member of the Association of Evangelical Christians Churches (OTsEKh). A few years later, Lushnikov became an assistant pastor, and then - a co-founder of the Kingdom of God Church of Evangelical Christians in his hometown. Despite the reputation of institutions with a religious bias, the CZM and the USC position themselves as secular institutions, for which they are often criticized, calling the centers sectarian.

In 2009, in Moscow, Lushnikov founded the Center for Healthy Youth Foundation. Together with him, the founders include TV presenter Alexei Lysenkov, known for the program "My own director", actress Elena Ksenofontova, pastor of "Kingdom of God" Konstantin Ivanov and pastor of the Center for Christian Enlightenment, which is part of OTsEKH, Sergei Malinkin.

In addition, Lushnikov works as an assistant to the Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Sergei Zheleznyak (and he heads the Supervisory Board of the NAS) and deputy Leonid Slutsky. Prior to that, Lushnikov was an assistant to the deputy Nikolai Valuev, but he fired him, allegedly for having connections with Protestants. According to another version, their relationship ended due to a conflict associated with competition for large budgets allocated by the Federal Drug Control Service and the Ministry of Health for the rehabilitation of drug addicts. According to a source close to the US, Lushnikov formally opened Muslim and Orthodox centers, and also recruited people close to the Russian Orthodox Church to work just to cut off these accusations and improve his reputation.

Two years earlier, Lushnikov and Lysenkov had founded the Health of the Nation Foundation. According to Kontur.Fokus, in 2013 the tax authorities liquidated it as invalid, although the fund's annual profit exceeded 65 million rubles. In the same year, the NAS and the "In the Name of the Archangel Gabriel" Foundation, which is part of it, appeared.

USA actively uses the administrative resource and big names. In addition to Lushnikov and Lysenkov, the association is led by Yulia Pavlyuchenkova, a member of the Inter-Council Presence of the Russian Orthodox Church, and its Supervisory Board includes Director of the Research Institute of Addiction Tatiana Klimenko, Patriarch Kirill's confessor Schema-Archimandrite Ily, leader of the Agatha Christie group Vadim Samoilov, as well as a former figure skater and wife President Tatiana Navka. Lushnikov communicates with the "stars": he often publishes photographs with celebrities, arranges trips for them to the centers of the NAS, and the history of the treatment of TV presenter Dana Borisova in one of his centers was covered by Channel One. Lushnikov also enlisted the support of Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and took part in UN anti-drug meetings.

There are about thirty "Healthy Youth Centers" throughout Russia, but there are branches in Israel and Thailand. There used to be centers in Bulgaria and Germany. Services of Russian centers cost 30-40 thousand rubles a month, in foreign - from one hundred thousand. The standard rehabilitation course lasts a year.

According to the press secretary of the NAS Tatiana Vorobei, at the moment they have helped 6349 people enter remission.

The charter of the CZM says that "the fund does not have the main purpose of its activities to make profit" and does not distribute it among the founders, and Lushnikov claims that they help some people free of charge, like ordinary benefactors. According to SPARK-Interfax, from 2014 to 2017, CZM received more than 130 million rubles in donations. Former clients and employees in the Dozhd TV report said that rehabilitation is often paid for with transfers to personal cards, and shared stories of psychological pressure and extortion of money from the staff for additional services.

The CZM, like many institutions of the NAS, does not have a medical license, they are only engaged in rehabilitation. According to Lushnikov, they rely on sports and spiritual development. Former rehabilitants spoke about psychological pressure: some addicts were brought in "in a deranged state," says the patient of the Center Maria. Two interlocutors of "Batenka" who visited the centers of the NAS, spoke about the strong religious bias of the rehabilitation program.

A CITY WITHOUT DRUGS

In the mid-1980s, a resident of Yekaterinburg Yevgeny Roizman served about two years for fraud, illegal possession of knives and theft. After his release, he took up the jewelry business and the sale of books, but soon switched to the business that made him famous throughout the country: he became the ideologist and face of the City Without Drugs Foundation (HDN).

The Foundation became famous thanks to the cruel treatment of the rehabilitants: the employees of the GBN kidnapped people from their homes, handcuffed them to radiators and bars on the windows during the "withdrawal", beat and starved them. In addition, the rehabilitants were forced to surrender their sellers, and then they illegally detained these people in order to hand them over to the police.

The price for services at the Yekaterinburg hospital has always been below average: in 2003, a month of rehabilitation cost about three thousand rubles, in 2015 - 15, today - 17 thousand. Like many leaders of the centers, Roizman said that in special cases people are treated free of charge. But this is only official data. In 2010, the ex-head of the Nizhny Tagil branch of the foundation, Yegor Bychkov, convicted of kidnapping and detaining people, claimed that a month's stay in his center cost five thousand rubles. Rehabilitation at a branch in the Sverdlovsk region cost 29 thousand.

The fund also always saved on food. The rehabilitants themselves grew vegetables and raised pigs for human consumption. In 2012, a former rehabilitator said that one person ate about a thousand rubles a month. In addition, drug addicts went to work, and the fund received the same amount per day for each person. According to the documents, the fund made almost no profit.

Despite its methods of operation, the foundation was respected. Among those who supported him were a member of the Federation Council Lyudmila Narusova, chief Russian narcologist Yevgeny Brun, director of the Federal Drug Control Service Viktor Ivanov, musicians Vladimir Shakhrin, Vyacheslav Butusov and Garik Sukachev, as well as the regional Public Chamber and the diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church. +

Roizman's reputation did not suffer either: in 2013 he won the elections for the mayor of Yekaterinburg. Since then, he stopped working on "City Without Drugs". He was replaced by Kabanov, who then repeatedly criticized his predecessor for violence against patients, unwillingness to cooperate with the authorities and economic illiteracy. The foundation admits that they handcuffed the rehabilitants (this is even mentioned on its website), but they assure that they refused it.

Today the fund has one center in Yekaterinburg with two subdivisions - for 90 and 100-140 people. Last year, 140 people underwent rehabilitation there. For comparison: in 2014 there were 245 of them, in 2011 - 896. In the same year, according to the official report, the organization received almost four million rubles and spent 4.3 million. Of these, almost 1.4 million were spent on wages, 794 thousand - for utilities, 890 thousand - for the maintenance of the premises, 624 thousand - for material costs, 641 thousand - for food, 84 thousand - for general expenses.

REHAB COTTAGE TYPE

Now the patients are mainly young people with salts, spice and methamphetamine. Here we need completely different approaches, - says Ilya, the owner of one of the network of rehab. - It is important that at the initial stage there is a psychiatrist who prescribes drug therapy, and the patient is on it for some time, in parallel with psychological and medical rehabilitation. There are not very many places where this is done. "

The most profitable and widest segment are rehab centers without a medical license located in a cottage or apartment. This is due to the fact that opening them is much easier and cheaper than full-fledged clinics. So, for renting premises and maintaining a medical center, you need to spend 10–20 million rubles a month, having previously invested tens of millions in equipment. To rent and maintain a cottage, you need to spend an average of 150 thousand rubles a month, and unscrupulous businessmen - even less. Recently on Avito they found an advertisement for the sale of an entire center with furniture and a "sports corner" in the Kurgan region for five million rubles. In addition, "cottage" centers are registered as providers of "social services with accommodation",

When the cottage is found, the administrators of the rehab centers start looking for patients in state hospitals.

Three years ago, Maria (name has been changed) had an overdose, and the girl fell into a coma for three days. When she woke up at the Sklifosovsky Institute, an unfamiliar man entered her room and invited her to go to a private rehabilitation center for at least a month. Maria agreed. The money for the treatment was paid by her mother.

- From a business point of view, any institution where alcoholics or drug addicts may be is the point where there is a product. Therefore, the centers are trying to negotiate with hospitals in order to motivate patients for rehabilitation while they are there, '' explains Ilya, who is familiar with the market.

THE MOST PROFITABLE AND WIDE SEGMENT - THESE REHABILITATION CENTERS WITHOUT A MEDICAL LICENSE LOCATED IN A COTTAGE OR APARTMENT.

According to him, earlier in Moscow, every doctor collaborated with some organization, which he recommended to addicts and their families for money, until a state center appeared in the regional Stupino and patients were sent there without fail.

After being discharged from Sklifosovsky, Maria ended up at the Praktik center (part of the US) in Zvenigorod. The girl was taken there by the same man who persuaded her to rehab when she was in a hospital bed. Maria lived in the center for ten months (it cost her mother 300 thousand rubles), and then even worked there for a short time.

As a rule, former rehabilitants work in such centers - first on a volunteer basis, and then for a small fee. On average, they are paid one to one and a half thousand rubles per shift. Usually their position is called "addiction counselor". Their duties include helping rehabilitants, leading groups and keeping order. Most of them are self-taught, relying on their experience in rehabilitation. Sometimes such centers pay psychologists for visits and communication with rehabilitants.

Wealth centers buy lead data from operators in other organizations.

But not all centers can afford this, so the first clients are often recruited through friends. Those that are richer post up paper ads (often by rehabilitators) and create websites. Often they write about drugs on them, exaggerating their harm in order to intimidate and attract potential customers. According to Zykov, praise from former patients and photographs of doctors on websites are often fake. “Many websites of drug addiction clinics and rehabilitation centers are fraudulent,” he is sure. “They talk about some houses, programs, doctors, but the only real thing there is a telephone. Customer data is then resold to real centers.”

The average cost of rehabilitation in centers without a medical license is 30–100 thousand rubles per month. In the regions, prices are cheaper. As a rule, such centers operate "all the way": relatives transfer money for rehabilitation to employees' cards or give it in cash. The cost may vary depending on the wealth of the family.

Sometimes centers sell a franchise. This is what the Healthy Choice Foundation does, which has branches in 28 cities. In 2017, according to the Kontur.Fokus database, its revenue amounted to 17.3 million rubles. According to Vitaly Tuminsky, a former Moscow operative who worked on drug trafficking and today helps victims of rehabilitation centers, the network owner receives, on average, about 500 thousand rubles a month from the branch.

Typically, these centers operate under the 12-step program, but some of them put more emphasis on sports, work, prayer and violence. Tuminsky estimates that physical or psychological violence is used in 90% of these institutions. "Cottage" centers with the most difficult living conditions are called "motivational houses". Narcologist Vladimir Mendelevich is sure that they are often discovered by people associated with crime.

In "motivational homes" they practice kidnapping and forced delivery to the place of rehabilitation - this is called "intervention". It can also be psychological: a person is pressured by all means, including blackmail, threats and insults, until he agrees to rehabilitation. So, on the website of the "Praktik" center, the price of "motivation for treatment" is indicated: a psychologist's visit costs from 5 to 15 thousand rubles - depending on the distance. The cost of transporting a patient starts from three thousand rubles.

In addition, people are forced to write statements about allegedly voluntary maintenance, they are held by force, they are severely punished even for the slightest offenses and do not allow them to communicate with loved ones. If rehabilitants manage to tell about the difficult conditions in the center, relatives often do not believe them, writing off complaints of unwillingness to receive treatment.

“In non-professional centers, they do not fight with the cause of use, but with the symptoms. Due to limited opportunities and poor education, they have to achieve therapeutic goals with the most accessible means - violence,” Ilya said.

On April 20, 2019, the Ministry of Internal Affairs proposed to ban rehabilitation centers for drug addicts without a medical license due to the fact that they often use violence against patients, force them to work, abduct and hold them by force. The bill proposes to carry out rehabilitation only in institutions approved by the Ministry of Health.

IN THE "MOTIVATION HOUSES" PRACTICE OF KIDNAPPING AND FORCED DELIVERY TO THE PLACE OF REHABILITATION - IT IS CALLED "INTERVENTION"

Relatives of addicts can lie that doctors will work with rehabilitants, show them "dummy" cottages and insist that a person can die without their urgent help. Nevertheless, in such centers, they also sometimes die - from beatings or suicide.

“We saw that he was reaching into his pockets, made a remark, and the volunteer knocked him to the floor, hit him eight times, probably in the back and kidneys,” one of the former patients of the “cottage” rehab tells the Rehab-Control project on camera. - a movement that collects evidence of torture and violations in rehab centers, and then passes the information on to law enforcement agencies. the cut was strong. The next day he died. "

Lawyer and human rights activist Alexei Kurmanaevsky In 2014–2015, he treated his addiction in a Kazan rehabilitation center, and then stayed to work there. According to him, the conditions in that place were good, but people from other, more disadvantaged centers were brought there. Alexey recorded their stories on camera, and then began to write statements to the police. Law enforcement agencies remained inactive until four patients died. This is how the history of the Rehab-Control movement began.

“I worked in the rehab center with my wife. In the end, we were fired from there because I was indignant, and no one wanted to change anything. At the same time, everything was covered by ideology. They think that they are doing a good deed, and money is just for life, but they deceive themselves and others so that some patients themselves begin to believe that this is the right way. Of course, this does not help, and after leaving the center a person often breaks down. This often aggravates the problem, because the person after the abuse no longer wants to be treated. " ...

Kurmanaevsky now lives in Israel, where he receives substitution therapy.

The rehabilitation course lasts on average from three months to a year, but in order to keep people longer, some centers introduce vague discharge criteria or do not establish them at all.

"Graduates" are offered guarantees: if they "fail" within a certain period, the first month of re-rehabilitation will be free. According to Ilya, this is all done for the sake of money. Having broken off, the person returns and pays a free month later for a new circle of "rehabilitation".

- There is a demand for such services. Relatives of addicts suffer and try to save them in any way. When there is no well-established state aid system, such centers appear, - says Ilya.

WORK HOUSES

Another popular type of center is "work houses" where "occupational therapy" is practiced. In them, rehabilitants do not pay for services, but work off their maintenance. These centers are in many ways similar to the Soviet medical and labor dispensaries, where addicts were sent, although this method did not show its effectiveness in treatment. Most often, people with no money at all end up in working houses.

One of the first such organizations was New Life in the Leningrad Region, which opened in 1995. The center was founded by businessman and Protestant Sergey Matevosyan, who, according to him, was so impressed by what was happening in the city basements, where drug addicts gathered, that he made a film about it, and then became a public figure.

The center has two branches - in a former psychiatric hospital and in an abandoned military base nearby, which have been operating for many years. The former rehabilitator said that in 2007, about two hundred people lived at the military base. According to the man, he was sent to work during the "withdrawal". When the client complained about health problems, the employee of the center replied that he would be cured by BSL - Big Shovel. They were poorly fed: chops or instant noodles. The man's rehabilitation did not help: after two weeks he left the organization and continued to use.

In the same year, Matevosyan opened a branch of the center in the United States.

In the Kontr.Fokus database there are two New Life companies founded by Matevosyan: an autonomous non-profit organization and a charitable foundation. According to the documents, the ANO does not make money. At the end of 2017, the organization had 11.2 million rubles on its balance sheet. Its co-founder, Aleksey Fomichev, also owns two lucrative businesses in Kingisepp - building construction and cleaning up. As of 2017, the New Life Foundation was doing well: its profit was constantly growing and amounted to 3.1 million rubles with a revenue of 8 million.

The founder of the fund is the "Jesus-Lord" Pentecostal Church of Christians of Evangelical Faith in Kingisepp. Matevosyan does not advertise the organization's ties with Protestantism, but, according to former rehabilitants, the center often talked about religion.

The largest organization where drug addicts were treated with labor and prayer was the Transfiguration of Russia (PR), founded by a group of "pure" drug addicts in the late 1990s. The history of the interregional network began with the fact that the employees of the center took their acquaintances and all together unauthorizedly settled in barracks on the outskirts of Kemerovo. The local authorities were not very happy about this, so the center was repeatedly evicted by riot police. Later, in 2001, "Transfiguration" received the status of a charitable organization, and suddenly the governor Aman Tuleyev gave them an empty school building. By 2011, the organization had about 350 branches in Russia and abroad, in which more than seven thousand people lived and worked.

Documents and telephones were taken from the rehabilitants, contracts were concluded with them on volunteer work, they were given two weeks for "breaking", then women were sent to farm, men were sent to work as loaders, janitors, shepherds and gravediggers. Often the employers were the co-founders of the branches and their acquaintances, which apparently made it possible to hire workers without labor contracts.

The workers were watched over by "senior" rehabilitants or "leaders" (without them it was forbidden to go outside the house). They also received money for the work of rehabilitants in cash or by transfers to their bank cards.

For any violations, rehabilitants were punished, including physically, and sometimes men were dressed in women's clothes in order to humiliate them. People engaged in hard physical labor were fed with porridge and soup ("a plate of water with two potatoes").

It was very difficult to leave "Transfiguration" on my own. Nevertheless, some of the rehabilitants remained to work in the organization, some of them were appointed heads of new centers. The centers' employees - from volunteers to management - were exclusively their former clients.

The PR structure was based on strict discipline and unconditional obedience to leadership. The president of the organization, Andrei Charushnikov, personally controlled all finances. Former press secretary of the PR Veniamin Demenko said that 30-40% of the profit went to the maintenance of houses and the road for employees, 10% was allocated to the management in Kemerovo, 10% - for the development of the project in the region and advertising, the remaining 30-40% - for the employees branch. The official revenue of PR for 2010 amounted to 5.1 million rubles, net profit - 3.5 million. In 2008-2009, the profit of the organization was 7.6 and 7.5 million, respectively.

In 2011, the Supreme Court liquidated the PR due to numerous violations, including illegal business activities. The department concluded that the organization used people as free labor, and was not involved in rehabilitation.

Despite the liquidation, "Transfiguration" continued to work under other names. Its vice-president Sergei Kabanov headed the Social Initiative, which positions itself as a project to help people in difficult life situations, like many organizations created by immigrants from the PR. The "Path to Life" in the Leningrad Region, the Orthodox Foundation "Nika" (registered at the same address as the Sverdlovsk branch of "Transfiguration"), "Path to the Light" in Yekaterinburg, "Rodnik" in Novosibirsk, are also associated with "Transfiguration". "Movement" and "The Way of Overcoming" in Moscow, "Perspective", "Berth" and "Light of Life" in St. Petersburg, "Line of Life" in St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk, "Your Chance" in Nizhny Novgorod, "

Nikolai Kaklyugin, a narcologist and head of the Mothers Against Drugs organization in the Krasnodar Territory, said in 2016 that many of these organizations still donate 10% of their monthly profits to the ex-PR leaders and Charushnikov's wife. In 2013, Charushnikov himself received nine years in a maximum security penal colony for "the creation of an illegal association that infringes upon the personality and rights of citizens, kidnapping and deliberate infliction of grievous bodily harm, resulting in death" - back in 2004, he beat one of the rehabilitants to death with a shovel handle ...

CLINICS

The Moscow PS clinic, today known as the Stas Piekha Narcological Clinic, was opened with the participation of the already famous Nikita Lushnikov. The co-investor of the project through his sister Erica Bystrova is the pop artist Stas Piekha, the grandson of the singer Edita Piekha. Prior to that, he, like other celebrities, provided information support to US for several years.

Piekha himself had been using heroin for more than five years, starting at twelve. True, according to him, treatment in clinics where his family sent him did not help him. He quit drugs himself after suffering a heart attack.

Legal entity PS - Libertas LLC - registered on November 3, 2015. Then Lushnikov owned 40% of the company, Bystrova - 30%, the remaining share was received by the owner of the logistics business Tatyana Andreeva. The volume of investments in the project was not disclosed.

According to the documents, the clinic's affairs were getting worse every year. In 2017, Libertas's revenue amounted to 8.4 million rubles, with a net loss of 17 million. By that time, Lushnikov no longer owned the clinic.

In February of this year, PS was robbed. According to Piekha, the stolen amount - 1.2 million rubles - was the clinic's monthly revenue.

Today one day in PS costs four thousand rubles, in a regional branch - two. The clinic has a VIP department. Unlike other Lushniki centers, here rehabilitants are promised medicines and doctors.

Your own rehabilitation center is not uncommon for yesterday's addicts. The singer Vlad Topalov, known for his participation in the pop group Smash, where he sang with Sergei Lazarev, took up the same business. After the duo broke up, Topalov started having drug problems.

Maria Frolova, head of the company, world champion in karate, socialite, wife of businessman and former president of the Krylya Sovetov hockey club, Evgeny Frolov, invited him to the Mozhaika 10 clinic.

The clinic's website states that it treats addiction not only to alcohol and drugs, but also to sex, labor, tobacco and social networks. It employs mobile medical teams to provide home detoxification for hungover clients. Also "Mozhayka, 10" offers rehabilitation - regular and VIP, in special cases they promise to help for free.

The organizations "Mozhayka, 10" or "Clinic of Maria Frolova" are not registered in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, but the address of the institution coincides with the Center "Healthy Nation" LLC, founded by Frolov in 2015. The company's website specified in the database belongs to the Samson German Rehabilitation Center clinic. Narcology is not included in his services. In 2017, the revenue of the organization amounted to 49.2 million rubles, profit - 1.8 million.

The average cost of a month's rehabilitation for one patient in a medical center is about 60 thousand rubles. At one time, the Federal Drug Control Service partially covered the costs of rehabilitation for some centers - first 25 thousand rubles, and then 30 thousand, but this experiment was quickly closed, and then the service itself was liquidated.

By law, commercial medical centers cannot detoxify drug addicts - only rehabilitation, so they earn mainly on those with alcohol problems. However, some clinics informally provide such services. "Here, as in any business, there are honest companies, and there are those in which they sell something useless, such as genetic analysis or dietary supplements. When parents first encounter the problem of child addiction, they are very frightened and lost. Unscrupulous entrepreneurs take advantage of this. ", - says Ilya.

VIP TREATMENT

The most expensive segment of rehabilitation is individual treatment, the price of which reaches 30-40 thousand dollars.

Some centers have VIP offices and branches, including those abroad. The cost of treatment in them is 100–400 thousand rubles per month. Until recently, VIP-clinics Rehab Family and clinic Marshak were among the flagships in this segment.

"When a VIP client appears, then a program is created for him, if he or his relatives are willing to pay for it, a team is recruited, a house is rented, and they work with him there as long as necessary," Ilya explains, noting that such clinics were most often used people who are afraid of publicity and do not want to get registered with drug addiction.

"Marshachka" was opened in 1996 in the town of Aprelevka near Moscow under the name "Kundala". Soon the clinic received the name of Yakov Marshak, the grandson of the Soviet poet Samuil Marshak, who worked there. Yakov, a graduate of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University and the 2nd Moscow Medical Institute, the author of a method for relieving addictions with the help of kundalini yoga, was alcohol dependent in remission. Yakovi himself, the current administration of the center, cannot agree. The institution's website claims that he came there two years after opening. According to Marshak himself, it was he who opened the clinic with two of his recovered patients. He also said that the money for the construction of the center - about a million dollars - was given by his former rehabilitator, who became the main shareholder, and Marshak received 25%.

Yakov worked at the clinic until 2007. After one of the co-owners threatened him to give up his share, Marshak left for the United States, leaving the name and brand to the clinic.

Living conditions in the clinic have always been like in a hotel: patients lived in separate rooms, they prepared food and changed their clothes.

In 2015, a VIP section for six patients appeared there. It has a tennis court, two swimming pools, sports ground, gym, sauna, billiard table, garden and relaxation area.

Another "family" clinic, Rehab Family, in an expensive mansion, was founded by TV journalist Eduard Sagalaev and his son Mikhail, who once fought drug addiction himself in the European center. In 2011, they invested about $ 10 million. For the sake of business, Mikhail sold his Moscow apartment and took out a loan for construction. The result was a clinic with two buildings - an outpatient clinic in Moscow and a 60-bed rehabilitation facility in Mytishchi. One day in it cost from 7 to 15 thousand rubles. Business didn't go. In 2018, the court declared Edward bankrupt, and soon the company. In total, the organization owes 215 million rubles. In January, she put the property up for auction.

The overseas rehabs of the National Anti-Drug Union can also be classified as expensive clinics. We have centers not only in Russia, but also in Israel and Thailand. The first is known for the fact that the priest Gleb Grozovsky, who was sentenced to 14 years in a maximum security colony last year for sexual abuse of 9- and 12-year-old girls, worked there. He was hiding in the center during the investigation.

In 2017, TV presenter Dana Borisova was treated for addiction in the Israeli branch. She did not come to the island of Samui of her own free will: first, her friends - TV presenter Andrei Malakhov, singer Prokhor Shalyapin and comedian Elena Vorobei - together with Lushnikov came to her home and said that they would take her to the shooting of a reality show, and then the head of the NAS delivered to the center. The process of luring Borisova out of the house was shown in Malakhov's program "Let them talk" on Channel One. Whether it was a production or the leading truth did not know about what was happening, it is hard to understand. Nevertheless, she said that the First Channel paid for Borisova's rehabilitation, which cost about 300 thousand a month.

Zdorovaya Strana also has overseas centers in Bali and Thailand. Rehab Family opened one in the Dominican Republic.

AMBULATORY TREATMENT

Doctors of state clinics also make money on drug addicts. Some of them earn extra money as "pochmetologists" (sometimes they are called "droppers"), treating people with withdrawal symptoms at home. The service appeared in the 2000s because resuscitators and narcologists wanted to earn extra money. More often they give droppers to alcohol addicts, but sometimes they remove drug withdrawals, although this is illegal and not as effective as in a hospital. For relief of withdrawal symptoms ("digging"), private "pochmetologists" receive two to five thousand rubles.

There are entire firms of pohmetologists, but it is dangerous to contact them, says the narcologist Oleg Zykov. “You can't call them doctors,” Zykov explains. “They may or may not have a higher education. Some companies have a medical license, but most work unofficially. They can leave for any reason, as long as they pay money. hundreds. "

Previously, a popular service (both paid and free) in public hospitals was "coding" or "filing": patients were taught that they were injected with a special drug that would kill them if consumed, when in fact it was magnesium sulfate , vitamin or other harmless substances. Chief freelance specialist of the Ministry of Health on narcology and president of the Moscow Scientific and Practical Center for Narcology. Evgeny Brun banned "coding" in his institution, recognizing it as a fraudulent procedure. However, some hospitals continue to do this informally. Some commercial clinics offer the same service. The average price is 5-10 thousand rubles.

Also, drug addicts are offered injections with naltrexone (trade name - "Vivitrol") - a drug that blocks the action of opioids. Its action is enough for a month, then the procedure must be repeated. Its cost in a pharmacy starts from 17 thousand rubles per ampoule, and in medical organizations an injection costs 25-30 thousand rubles. This service is often mistakenly confused with "encryption".

Despite the apparent diversity, the rehabilitation market today does not provide patients with normal choices. "The system of rehabilitation programs in our country, largely thanks to the Ministry of Health and the late Federal Drug Control Service, of course, is at a very, very low level," says Anya Sarang, President of the Andrei Rylkov Foundation, which helps drug addicts. not only of high quality, but at least those where people will not be exploited or tortured, which in these programs is called treatment. "

“There is no legal basis in the field of rehabilitation in Russia, so every organization does what it wants,” Ilya, who himself owns a network of rehabilitation centers, agrees with her.
