“Vremya Ch”: he refuses treatment — does that mean nothing can be done?

Episode two. Who actually calls the helpline: most often it is not the person using, but their parents, wives and children. What a family can do when someone refuses help — and why a refusal does not mean there is nothing left to do.

Vremya Ch — a conversation about addiction

Broadcast on 20 August 2026. Host — Mikhail Novakhov; guest — Viacheslav Sviadish, Rill Recovery. A conversation about why addiction stops being a matter of willpower, what happens to a family before it happens to the person using, and why a free line matters — one you can call anonymously, in Russian or in English.

**He swore it was the last time**The promise “never again” keeps coming back. Why that is part of the illness, not simply a lie.

**What an intervention actually is**A conversation the family prepares in advance: who speaks, in what order, and what to do if the answer is no.

**Addiction was never a choice**Why “just pull yourself together” doesn’t work — and what to say instead.

**How addiction takes hold**The mechanism in brief: the point where this stops being a question of willpower.

**When your child refuses treatment**Refusal is almost always the first reaction, not the final answer. What a parent can do while there is no yes.

**Breaking the loop**Promises, relapse, guilt, more promises. Where in that loop there is something to take hold of.
