SOCIAL WORK FOR THE RESOCIALISATION OF DRUG ADDICTS IN REHABILITATION CENTRES

The escalating issue of drug dependency within Ukrainian society and the imperative for effective resocialisation of affected individuals underpins the significance of this research. Rehabilitation centres play a pivotal role in the process of reintegrating drug addicts into fully functional societal participation; however, their operational frameworks necessitate continual refinement and a systematic approach. The article examines the characteristics of social work regarding the resocialisation of drug addicts within rehabilitation centre environments, with a particular focus on identifying efficacious methodological strategies and interventional approaches. Methods of research: comprehensive methodological framework for data acquisition, encompassing a thorough theoretical analysis of extant literature germane to the research's subject matter and investigative objectives. The research findings substantiate that effective resocialisation of individuals struggling with drug dependency mandates a multidimensional intervention strategy, integrating psychosocial, medical, and educational initiatives. Specialised programmes focusing on social adaptation, vocational training, and post-centre supportive mechanisms are particularly significant. It has been determined that addictive behaviour has the following characteristics: persistent physical and psychological dependence of the individual on psychoactive substances; disorders of physical, mental, emotional-behavioural functions of the personality; difficulties or even impossibility of establishing social connections and adaptation both in macro- and microsocial environments. To overcome the problem, comprehensive support is necessary, which includes both medical-psychological (or psychiatric) intervention and measures for resocialisation and rehabilitation of persons with drug addiction, particularly in specialised rehabilitation centres. A promising direction for further research is the systematisation of social work methodologies aimed at the resocialisation of persons with drug addiction within rehabilitation centres.
