Online Rehabilitation

FAQ

Questions and answers

General

Is it free?
Yes. This is a volunteer program — we do not charge for participation. Ever.
Is it a Christian program?
Yes. The program is based on Christian values, reading the Gospel, prayer and practical support. At the same time, we do not pressure those who do not yet believe — anyone can begin.
Is this a cult?
No. We require nothing from you: no money, no attendance, no giving up your family or church. This is voluntary support. You can leave at any time.
Does the program replace a doctor?
No. We do not replace medical, psychiatric or legal help. In case of a threat to life, withdrawal, psychosis or any other dangerous condition, contact emergency services.
What if I am not from Russia or the CIS?
The program works online and is available from any country with internet. Meetings are held in Russian.

For participants

Can I just talk first?
Yes. That is exactly what the first 15-minute call with a mentor is for — no forms, no obligations, just a conversation.
Can I take part anonymously?
At the first stage — yes. We do not require your real name or documents to start a conversation.
How confidential is this?
Completely. Everything you share stays strictly between you and your mentor. We never sell, publish, or pass your data to third parties. The only exception is where the law directly requires it, or where there is an imminent risk to life.
How does a session work technically?
Sessions are held over Zoom or another convenient video service. A phone with internet is enough — no complicated setup. We send the meeting link in advance.
How often are the sessions?
Usually once a week, but the rhythm is set individually — together with your mentor.
What happens if I relapse?
A relapse is part of the journey, not the end. Your mentor will not judge or abandon you. You continue from where you stopped. This matters deeply to us.
How long does the program last?
The program has no time limit. Some participants go through the active path in a few months, others stay longer. There are no deadlines.

For relatives

Do you help relatives?
Yes. There is a separate page for relatives, support, and the option to book a call separately — regardless of whether the person with addiction takes part.
Can I take part if my loved one is not ready yet?
Yes. Relatives can receive support regardless of whether the person with addiction wants to take part. Often the whole family's journey begins with a relative.
What is codependency, and do you help with it?
Codependency is when a relative's whole life, mood and sense of meaning revolve around the person with addiction. It is also a form of suffering, and we work with it. We have mentors with experience in exactly this area.
