Readaptacja społeczna młodzieży uzależnionej od środków psychoaktywnych
Social readaptation of adolescents addicted to psychoactive drugs

Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses selected therapeutic and rehabilitation activities included in the scope of healthcare provided within the “Nadzieja” Catholic Youth Education and Therapy Centre in Bielsko-Biała. Therapeutic and rehabilitation activities are focused also on social readaptation. Support in social re-adaptation of persons temporarily isolated from their natural environment should be one of significant social issues. In general, persons addicted from various psychoactive substances or those who got in trouble with the law originate from dysfunctional environment, marked with social awkwardness or dysfunctionality of family functions. Thus taking specific actions aimed at re-adaptation of such persons to life in community may prevent them from getting in trouble with the law again or from developing the sense of social exclusion. Nowadays the significant role of work, as well as general and professional education are mphasised as the basic factors for social re-adaptation. Other important aspects include preventing addictions, promotion of healthy lifestyle, ergotherapy, art therapy, sports activity, and cultural activity. In many addiction treatment centres and corrective centres there are also special programmes of social re-adaptation by means of charity work or support for social initiatives.
