The topic is treated according to the Bio-Psycho-Socio-Spiritual Model of Addiction. The theoretical part deals with the quality of life and the subjectively perceived well-being and defines six dimensions of well-being on which the practical part of the thesis is based.

The last theoretical chapter focuses on the opioid substitution treatment as such and more specifically on the methadone maintenance treatment. The practical part presents the results of the research. The aim of the thesis is to analyse how the persons in the methadone maintenance treatment program in České Budějovice perceive life changes. A qualitative research was chosen for that purpose. The data were obtained through the technique of narrative interview. The research group consisted of four respondents who were on the methadone maintenance treatment program. The results show that the subjectively perceived changes in the lives of the persons in the methadone maintenance treatment program relate to five out of six dimensions of well-being. No changes were recorded in the dimension concerning the sense of life, in other words, even after a several month methadone maintenance treatment these persons perceive no goal of their lives. Important consequences for work with these persons can be drawn from that, especially for therapists in opioid substitution centres, who should develop spirituality aspects of persons.

The Life Quality of Males and Females
BUMBOVÁ, Monika
This bachelor thesis dealing with a quality of life should map possible differences in the subjective perceptions of the quality of life for men and women. It also aims to highlight the lifestyle of men and women, which is influenced by different expectations of male and female roles. The quality of life is a very comprehensive concept and it absorbs into itself a large number of aspects of individuals´ life. It is also perceived as a certain satisfaction with the provision of individual needs. Many disciplines deal with that issue (psychology, sociology, philosophy etc.), but despite an effort to capture the complex, there is ambiguity in its definition, mainly because of its multi-dimensional and subjective nature. The theoretical part consists of two main chapters. The fist chapter deals with the quality of life, its historical development, it describes its various concepts, categories and measurements. The second part deals with gender issues, especially a definition of the term ``gender{\crqq}, a conception of the masculinity and femininity, gender stereotypes. In the practical part there are defined objectives, hypotheses; a methodology of the thesis is described here. For the primary data collection and testing of the hypothesis I chose an interrogation method, a questionnaire technique. The data collection took place in České Budějovice district and working age respondents participated in it. The questionnaire was a combination of open, closed, semi-closed questions. The research was conducted in March and April 2009. A total of 260 questionnaires were distributed, 219 questionnaires were returned. 13 of them were excluded for a failure to comply the award. There were two hypotheses stated for the research. The first hypothesis assumed that women evaluate the quality of life more positively than men and the research confirmed the hypothesis. The second hypothesis assumed that men are more willing to sacrifice their leisure time for a career growth than women and was not confirmed.
