Abstract

Cilj preglednog rada je prikazati alkoholizam kao bolest gledanu sa stajališta biopsihosocijalnog modela zdravlja i bolesti, te prikazati važnost i ulogu klubova liječenih alkoholičara u procesu liječenja ovisnika o alkoholu. U radu se naglašava važnost učlanjivanja u klubove liječenih alkoholičara. Klubovi liječenih alkoholičara su dinamične skupine organizirane za liječenje i rehabilitaciju osobe ovisne o alkoholu te njene obitelji. Kao još jedna mogućnost za pomoć pri održavanju apstinencije je i učlanjivanje u dobrovoljno društvo Anonimnih alkoholičara. Alkoholizam se smatra jednim od ključnih javno zdravstvenih problema. Još od najranije povijesti alkohol je upotrebljavan kao sredstvo koje ima umirujuće i ugodno djelovanje. Procjenjuje se kako u Hrvatskoj živi oko 250 000 registriranih ovisnika o alkoholu. Alkoholizam kod ovisnika postaje njegov stil života. U okviru liječenja apstinencija nije dovoljna, uz apsitnenciju ovisnik mora mijenjati samog sebe, tj. svoj dosadašnji način života jer mijenjajući stil života mijenja stavove o pijenju. U tome mu pomaže klub liječenih alkoholičara. Liječenje je dugotrajan proces u kojem su mogući, i očekivani, povremeni recidivi. Uz odgovarajuću stručnu pomoć, podršku članova obitelji i šanse za dugotrajnom apstinencijom rastu. Najbolja prevencija alkoholizma je odrastanje u okolini koja ne podržava pijenje alkoholnih pića.

Abstract (english)

The aim of the review is to present alcoholism as a disease from the point of the biopsychosocial model of health and disease, and to show the importance and role of clubs of treated alcoholics in the process of treatment of alcohol addicts. This paper emphasizes the importance of joining clubs of treated alcoholics. Clubs of treated alcoholics are dynamic groups organized for treatment and rehabilitation of a person addicted to alcohol and his family. Another possibility to help maintain abstinence is to join the Voluntary Society of Alcoholics Anonymous. Alcoholism is considered one of the key public health problems. From the earliest history, alcohol has been used as a sedative and pleasant agent. It is estimated that about 250,000 registered alcohol addicts live in Croatia. Alcoholism in an addict becomes his lifestyle. Within the treatment, abstinence is not enough, in addition to abstinence, the addict must change himself, his current way of life, by changing his lifestyle he changes his attitudes about drinking. Treatment is a long term process in which, and expected, occasional relapses are possible. With proper professional help, the support of family members and the chances of long-term abstinence increase. The best prevention of alcoholism is growing up in an environment that does not support the drinking of alcoholic beverages.
