Abstract

Konceptualizaciju ovisnosti o heroinu kao kroničnog i relapsirajućeg stanja
potvrđuje velik broj istraživanja koja ukazuju i na različitost individualnih putanja
ovisnosti i liječenja kod osoba koje se liječe od ovisnosti o heroinu. Predviđanje
ishoda i tijeka liječenja se pokazalo prilično teškim zbog velikog broja
kontekstualnih i situacijskih činitelja koji imaju ulogu u tom procesu. Cilj ovog
istraživanja bio je dobiti uvid u iskustvo liječenja od ovisnosti o heroinu iz
perspektive mlađih odraslih osoba koje se liječe od ovisnosti o heroinu. Istraživanje
je provedeno na kriterijskom uzorku, te je u njemu sudjelovalo 6 osoba muškog spola
u dobi od 24 - 34 godine koje su uključene u izvanbolničko liječenje ovisnosti o
heroinu, te su podaci prikupljani metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua. Rezultati
pokazuju da je proces oporavka od ovisnosti o heroinu subjektivan i dinamičan
proces osobne promjene čiji ishodi uvelike ovise o osobnim i okolinskim resursima
koji su osobi dostupni prilikom suočavanja s izazovima u procesu liječenja. Iskustva
sudionika pokazuju da iako je dostupnost primjerene stručne podrške u zajednici
ključna za započinjanje procesa oporavka, velik dio tog procesa odvija se izvan
tretmanskog okruženja, u intrapsihičkom svijetu pojedinca i njegovoj neposrednoj
okolini, stoga je nužno tretmanske intervencije usmjeriti i na te razine.

Abstract (english)

The conceptualization of heroin addiction as a chronic and relapsing state is
corroborated by numerous studies, which also point to the differences in individual
addiction and treatment trajectories of people who are being treated for heroin
addiction. Predicting the outcome and course of treatment has proved to be quite
difficult due to a large number of contextual and situational factors that play a role
in this process. Aim of this research was to gain insight into treatment of heroin
addiction from the perspective of younger adults. This study was conducted on a
criterion sample. Six males aged 24-34 participated in research, all of which are
included in outpatient heroin addiction treatment within the public health system,
and data were collected by semi-structured interview. The results indicate that the
process of recovery from heroin addiction is a subjective and dynamic process of
personal change, the results of which depend strongly on personal and
environmental resources available when facing challenges in the treatment process.
The experiences of participants show that despite the key role that availability of
adequate professional support in the community has in initiating the recovery
process, a large part of that process takes place outside of the treatment
environment, within the intrapsychic world of the individual and their immediate
environment. It is therefore necessary to direct treatment interventions towards these
levels as well.
