Change in paradigms in addiction therapy

Summary/Abstract: Paradigms constitute a model description of problems and their solutions. They are important as certain methods of work, ideas for interpreting e.g. behaviour of people in need for help, criteria for success or failure come from them. Recent years have brought an important change of paradigms, which can still be seen happening in therapeutic rehabilitation in the area of understanding addicts as well as the understanding of addiction itself.The change influences the occurrences of new therapeutic programs, which are no longer focused on sobriety itself, but it also has a huge influence on alcohol abuse and harm reduction programs. It must be emphasized that these are programs that are not designed for everyone and each of them is dedicated to strictly defined group of people with an addiction in a broad sense.
