Who prepares the content
Website content is prepared by the Akalam medical editorial team. Every page is reviewed by a practising addiction doctor or psychiatrist.
What our content is based on
We rely on ICD-10 and ICD-11, the clinical protocols of Kazakhstan's Ministry of Health, WHO recommendations and NICE guidelines. We never publish invented figures, testimonials or unproven methods.
Honest about methods
Coding, chemical protection, implants and blockades are described as part of comprehensive treatment, with contraindications and limitations. We never promise a “guaranteed result for life”.
Online and home visits
Every page states what can be handled by phone or video and what needs a home visit, an examination, tests or inpatient care.
Updates
Content is reviewed when clinical guidelines or legislation change. The date of the last review is shown on every page.
Limitations
Information on this website is for reference only and does not replace a doctor's consultation. We do not give medication doses or advice on self-treatment.
