Drug abuse and substance abuse is rampant around the world. Addictions and substance abuse are not limited to narcotics and alcohol, but can include prescription drug use, gambling, or any other type of behavior detrimental to physical and emotional well-being. Rehabilitation for such addictions utilizes various methods of treatment, depending on the severity of the addiction, the age of the individual, the duration of the addiction as well as the mental outlook and behaviors of the person experiencing the addiction.

Traditional treatments for substance abuse and drug addiction have involved detox programs where the body is weaned off alcohol, drugs, or the behavior, and include counseling, and in some cases, medications designed to help reduce symptoms of withdrawal.

Facilities in Serbia and Russia, such as those of Dr. Nikolay Vorobiev, native of Russia, with clinics in six international locations, offers treatments include painless detoxification, eliminating addiction, substance aversive therapies, psychotherapies, and a blend of complementary or nonmedical therapies that include but are not limited to acupuncture, massage, and a treatment called criotherapy.

Combining methodologies of physical and physiological approaches to deal with addictions, Dr. Vorobiev’s clinics offer detoxification, which generally lasts two to four days, psychotherapy, and aversion therapy designed to create an intense dislike or distaste of the specific addiction a person is suffering from.

PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal based in Colorado, offers resources, education, information and substance abuse facility profiles that make finding affordable and private substance abuse clinics easier.

Do you play sports? Work hard? Is your job physically demanding? If so, chances are you’ve injured yourself at some point in your life. Orthopedic injury and the need for orthopedic care, as well as numerous facilities and experts to take care of bone fracture rehabilitation, sports injuries or any type of traumatic injury caused by sports is the job of a sports medicine specialist.

 

Sports medicine is a special field of care within the health industry that focuses mainly on injury or prevention of sports injury to those involved in sports, fitness fields and various forms of recreation. The field may be practices by a Medical Doctor (M.D.) or a Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) to provide a wide range of services.

 

A medical doctor, doctor of osteopathy or even a surgeon may specialize in one or more fields of sports medicine practice, including:

 

  • Sports Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment
  • Sports Medicine Injury Prevention
  • Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
  • Kinesiology
  • Massage

 

Depending on the location, type and severity of an injury and the diagnosis and treatment of it, physical therapy and rehabilitative services can cost tens of thousands of dollars for individuals. In some cases, a health insurance policy may cover some costs, but not all. In the United States, limitations and exclusions on policy coverage may severely inhibit full recovery. Medical travelers venturing to locations in Mexico and South America, Asia or locations in Europe such as Terme Selce in Croatia or the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz facility in Switzerland may save thousands of dollars on the cost of physical therapy, rehabilitation, sports massage and additional treatments in the field as per recommendations by a physician.
