Lenka Slámová

Abstract

Daniel (32 years old), with an anamnesis of long-term using of addictive substances, more precisely a combination of marihuana, methamphetamine, heroin and alcohol. He started taking addictive substances approximately at the age of 15 because of a positive family anamnesis, relationship and personal problems. From the psychotherapis­t’s perspecti­ve we worked together during his tree-month toxin-rehabilitation treatment in the psychiatric hospital in Kromeriz. The patient's name has been changed in case history. Daniel, together with other patients contributed to the creation of a programme and afterwards a brochure for patients with drugs career, based on cognitive – behavioural therapist techniques. Daniel's thera­peutic goals are dominated by craving themes, his personality settings, learning self-control: drug rejection, communication, work with rage, relaxation training, cognitive avoidance with addictive substance, problem solving, and relapse prevention.
