I have worked in addiction recovery for more than 26 years. In that time more than a thousand people and their families have gone through my work — from Israel, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and across Europe.
I am not a doctor. My field is motivation, treatment strategy and everything that happens to a person before the clinic and after it. The medical side is handled by licensed professionals I work with as one team.
I saw the same picture again and again: a person is "cleaned out" in a week, discharged — and a month later they are using again. Detox removes the physical dependence but changes nothing that led to it.
That is how IsraRehab came about — a centre in Kiryat Ekron where treatment does not end with detox. Today it is a facility licensed by the Israeli Ministry of Health, run by the non-profit association Derech Le'Or, with essential-enterprise status.
This experience grew into my own approach — the Full Return Method. It rests on six pillars: crisis intervention, family work, three layers of therapy, physical recovery, support after discharge and a return to work.
I personally lead three areas: crisis intervention, consultations for families and aftercare support. I work in Russian, English and Hebrew — in person in Israel and online.

Verify certificate ↗I want to express my gratitude to IsraRehab and especially to Slava for my new clean life, which began 12 years and a month ago. Back then I received a huge gift — the understanding that you can live without addiction and enjoy life!
In 17 years of using I went through many treatment facilities… I went just to tick a box so they would leave me alone, but after a week or two I slowly started listening to the counsellors… and as a result I have been in recovery for 8 years! A big human thank-you to all the clinic staff and to its founding spirit, Viacheslav…
To Slava — for his effective approach and the resilience he helped me build, and for explaining very simply exactly what I needed to do to stay sober… My family said I came out of there a different person.
