People without shelter and addictive substances
VČELIČKOVÁ, Karolína
This thesis deals with the problematic of homeless people and the role of psychoactive drugs in theirs everyday life in town of Pisek. The aim of thesis is to find out the importance of the psychoactive drugs for these people. What are they capable to do to get the drug and on the other hand what are they doing to limit their usage. Further aim is to find out whether those using the drugs tried of some kind of treatment or restricting theirs addictions. On the problematics of homeless people and psychoactive drugs I focused in the theoretical part of the thesis. I compile the problematics using qualitative research, when I used the methodology of questionnaire. I used the technique of semi-controlled interview. I questioned the clients of Social centre Arkada in Pisek. The clients were selected according to their ability and willingness by Arkada social worker. For evaluation I used Grounded theory. I found out the centre clients were facing certain family issues ever since their childhood. All of them had experience with psychoactive drugs from teen age. Furthermore they were facing the problems in family and with job. All these factors led to situation they found themselves on the streets without a shelter. Due to ongoing cycle of complications their situation were not getting any better, but on the contrary they were using more drugs. They created psychic and physical addiction, which they found very hard to fight. For the questioned clients of the centre the drugs represent something they cannot imagine their life. Although some of them tried the treatment, they were never able to completely eliminate them from their life. The outputs of this bachelor thesis can serve as information material for employees of social centre Arkady Pisek. There is no "cure" for the homeless people addictive to drugs to bring them back to normal life and to find their place in the society. Although I hope, that this thesis can at least a bit help to further cooperation with client, which seeks help in their fight in the centre.
