Life after the cessation of abuse of psyschoactive substance brings a lot of challenges, with whick individuals have previously delat through the influence of substances. For a greater ability to preserve abstinence, former users have to learn new skills and ways of overcoming challenges in everyday life.
In the theoretical part, I pay attention to four major topics. First, I define the notion of addiction, explain development and the characteristics of addiction. In the second part, I devote myself to the topic of abstinence, identify it, present the abstinence crisis and insight, and then mention the relapse and how to reduce the risk of it. In the third part, I present how low-threshold and high-threshold programs work, and in the fourth section I focus on social work in the field of addiction.
In my diploma thesis, I decided on a qualitative research where I was interested in what skills the former residents of the housing group have acquired in the program and which would be highlighted as the most important. I was also interested in the importance of the relationship between residents and employees, for the long-term benefit and coping with everyday dilemmas.
