Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for drug addiction treatment is available at Valued Med Hub Hospitals in Istanbul, Turkey. The comprehensive DBS package may cost around $38,000 and includes a rechargeable system with up to 18 years of battery life. The procedure is led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Melih Ucer, an experienced neurosurgeon specialized in advanced neurosurgical interventions.
Treatment overview
DBS therapy involves implanting a medical device to stimulate specific brain areas. This experimental approach aims to help manage severe drug addiction cases. The Boston rechargeable DBS system serves as the primary treatment device.
What the package includes
- DBS surgery with surgeon, assistant, and anesthesiologist
- Boston rechargeable DBS system (up to 18 years life)
- 3 nights hospitalization in standard room
- Pre-operative tests related to procedure
- Airport-hospital-hotel transfers
- 2–3 battery adjustment follow-ups
Treatment process
Patients undergo psychiatric evaluation before the procedure. The surgery typically requires a 3-day hospital stay. Doctors recommend spending 1-2 weeks in Turkey for initial recovery and programming. Follow-up adjustments optimize the therapy effects over several months.
Important considerations
DBS for drug addiction remains experimental with no guaranteed results. Preliminary psychiatric evaluations may cost an additional $2,000–4,000. The clinic has a 4.7/5 rating from 47 patients, with 97% recommending their services.
For those seeking advanced treatment options, this DBS program offers a comprehensive approach to managing severe addiction cases. Contact the hospital to discuss your specific situation and treatment possibilities.
