Rehabilitation of men addicted to alkohol
PEŠÁKOVÁ, Ilona
The diploma thesis focuses on the methods that are applied in aftercare services focused on follow-up treatments and the associated subsequent resocialization of clients. Furthermore, this thesis focuses on the approaches, methods and techniques of social work that are used to successfully integrate men into the job market. Thesis is also concentrated on areas the communication partners observe the greatest success of follow-up treatment in the aftercare program. In the theoretical part, the first chapter focuses on alcohol addiction general. The second chapter deals with the treatment of addicts, their forms, types of facilities providing treatments and its progress. In the third chapter deals with the resocialization, types of aftercare services offered, the issue of relapse and recurrence and applied methods and techniques of social work. Areas of resocialization and its subsequent success are also described in this chapter. The practical part focuses on partial goals in the form of qualitative research, namely semi-structured interview. The sampling was selected by purposeful selection through institutions in the facility ALKAT z. s. in Jemnice. In the first part, I dealt with general information about addicted people - e.g. what are their family relationships and what was the reason for joining the aftercare program. The second part describes the procedure of the aftercare program. What are activities they are taking part of in order to increase their chances of successful integration into society. In the third part, I followed the approaches, methods and techniques of social work used in ALKAT z. s. in the resocialization of men addicted to alcohol. I concentrated on the comments of communication partners, who advised me of approaches of social work that are appropriate for specific men. The fourth part deals areas the communication partners monitored the best success of resocialization during the stay in the aftercare facility. It describes also areas where they feel the highest rate of improvement and what or who was greatest motivation for them on the path to recovery. Research has shown that communication partners have experienced alcohol since a young age. Each of them started abusing alcohol for various reasons. The reason for entering the aftercare facility was both the improvement of the health condition and the pressure of the family or the extension of the treatment due to the fact that they have nowhere to live. The treatment procedure was evaluated by all communication partners as appropriate and they were mostly satisfied with its form and progress. The research confirmed that each of the clients is unique, and they treat them with respect, with specific approach which is beneficial and helpful to them. The participants of the research survey stated that there are issues that they prefer to consult with a social worker or therapist (method of social work with an individual), on the contrary with regard to training skills and techniques or just a source of experience in fighting cravings the group therapy method is preferred. Related to this, the area of social work approaches used is mostly a combination of more than one method that is applied in the aftercare program in the institution (task-oriented approach, systemic approach and cognitive-behavioral approach). All communication partners agreed that the most helpful techniques are motivational interviewing techniques, relaxation and distraction of attention. An element that has a great influence on the success and persistence of treatment is motivation, which is different with regard to the diversity of clients. Success also depends on the number of treatments that clients have already completed, as the number of successful resocializations decreases with increasing numbers of successful treatments, which may be due to previous ineffective treatment, insufficient motivation, poor family or inappropriate social relationships and poor lifestyle.
