The Importance of Self-help Groups during the Treatment of Addictive Substances Addictions.
SOUKALOVÁ, Veronika
This Bachelor paper addresses the subject of self-help groups established to facilitate the treatment of drug addictions. The practical section employs the qualitative method of research, namely the practice of data gathering with reliance on what is known as semi-structured interview. The interviews were held with the members of Alcoholics Anonymous selfhelp groups; the Better Life group in České Budějovice; the Fénix group in Brno; the Joy group in Ostrava, and the self-help group of Drug Addicts Anonymous within the NA Miracle group. To make the view of the self-help groups comprehensive, their therapeutists were interviewed as well. As also follows from the research, the Czech Republic still falls behind in the spread of addiction treatment through the self-help groups, despite the fact that this method is enormously effective in the subsequent care of the addicts. Most members were unaware of any other self-help groups apart from the 12-step communities. I would recommend that the specialists concentrate more on the subsequent care, since this stage emerges as most important for the addiction removal as well as for better awareness of the problem both in the general public and among the professionals. This Bachelor paper could serve the purpose.
