The aim of this work is to describe toxic psychosis among long-term methamphetamine users as they perceive whether the relationship between intensity, regularity of use, and method of application of methamphetamine with toxic psychosis can be established. Whether the client is aware of the course of toxic psychosis and whether the psychotic episode affects the client's intensity of use, or overall abstinence from drugs. The survey was conducted on a sample of 6 users - 3 abstainers and 3 active users. To get qualitative data I chose a combination of several methods, observation, record sheet and semi-structured interview. The conversations were recorded on the recording equipment and the audio recording was further transcribed in MS Word. The systematization of the qualitative data was done by sorting data according to...
