Articles from the FAVOR clinic for people with addiction and their families: how to recognize the problem, what happens to the body, how to talk to a loved one and where to find help.
How we write our articles
We write in plain language, without scare tactics and without promises. An article explains what is happening, but it does not diagnose or prescribe treatment: a doctor does that after an examination.
- Every article is written by a clinic specialist. Their name and position appear under the headline and at the end of the article.
- Each article shows the date of publication and of the last update. If another doctor reviewed the text, we name them and give the review date.
- We cite sources: orders and protocols of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, the International Classification of Diseases, and materials from the WHO and specialized institutes. The list is at the end of the article.
- We do not name medications or doses for self-treatment and do not advise treatment without a doctor.
- When guidelines change or we find an error, we correct the text and update the date. How we prepare articles is described in our editorial policy.
