The topic Needs of people addicted to drugs and alcohol to maintain succesful abstinence in aftercare was chosen. Aftercare is an important part of addiction treatment, but often overlooked and unused. The aim is to clarify the needs of abstinent persons addicted to alcohol and other non-alcohol drugs and their subsequent comparison. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals with the development of addiction, its diagnosis, description of drugs and treatments options. Chapters dealing with treatment are thoroughly discussed because of the individual usage during the treatment of addiction. Aftecare of addicted people and problems with relapse take place in this part of work. The second part deals with research focused on identifying the needs of addicted people to drugs and alcohol to maintain successful abstinence and their subsequent comparison. Clarifying of these needs can serve as a recommendation to other abstaining people or as a support to services in the system of aftercare to successful abstinence nowadays. KEYWORDS Addiction, addictive substances, drug addiction treatment, abstinence, relapse, aftercare for drug and alcohol rehab

Specifics of Addiction Treatment of Children and Adolescents
STIFTEROVÁ, Barbora
This Bachelor?s Thesis shall point out the problem of children and teen drug addiction, specifically the way of treatment of this specific group. The topic of addictive drugs among youth is an acute problem of our current society. Statistics show that the trend of drug abuse is the most significant during adolescence. Statistics further refer to an increasing number of legal as well as illegal drug users. Alarming is the fact that drug addiction infiltrates to lower and lower age groups and it is not the problem of just adults or teens any more but also children. In the theoretical part I covered specifics of drug addiction, drug effects, their distribution and risks in relation to children and teens. Further I attended to the system of drug user treatment and in conclusion I dealt with specific methods and approaches when working with underage drug addicts. In the empirical part I aimed to define the treatment specifics of psychoactive drug dependence of children and teens. I specifically dealt with their treatment motivation, further with the methods and important aspects when working with this specific group and also the question of replacement therapy indication. I chose a qualitative research with the semi-structured interview to be the method of data collection. The research file was selected on the basis of a quota sampling, when the quota is a specialist in a rehabilitative medical facility for children and teens, the region of the capital city of Prague and a position (psychologist, therapist, social worker, doctor). In total 10 respondents took part in my research. In the discussion I compared the own research results to the theory and other studies dealing with the same issue. In conclusion of my thesis I defined three hypotheses. After an assessment of my research and deepening the knowledge of the appropriate topic I think that it is necessary to focus more on this specific group and to pay more attention to it than it has been so far.
