PSYCHO-CORRECTIVE AND THERAPEUTIC WORK WITH ADDICTED PERSONS IN CONDITIONS OF PENITENTIARY ISOLATION

Summary/Abstract: The article presents procedures and methods of working with addicted persons in penitentiary isolation, as well as examples of psycho-corrective programmes dedicated to this group. People addicted to alcohol or other psychoactive substances constitute a very large population of convicts serving sentences under conditions of penitentiary isolation. Convicts diagnosed with addiction serve their sentence of deprivation of liberty in a therapeutic system, where they are subject to specialist therapeutic interventions. In addition, psycho-corrective interventions are applied to persons showing symptoms of addiction or destructive patterns of contact with psychoactive substances. Examples of psycho-corrective programmes dedicated to this group of convicts include Brief Intervention or Correction for inmates. The main aims of the programmes concern assessing the severity of the problem and providing the patient with feedback, as well as motivating a reduction in the amount of alcohol consumed and weakening the tendency towards risky behaviour under the influence of alcohol. An innovative solution in the area of alcohol prevention under penitentiary conditions is the transdermal alcohol concentration monitoring system (TAM).
