Subject: Psychosocial support services in methadone-programs in the Federal Republic of Germany

There are two concepts in this subject. They can be searched with terms from the SOMED-vocabulary (CT). " Methadon" is a term from the group of drugs. The concept "psychosocial support" has to be searched with end-masking, for the CT " Psychosoziale Versorgung" is in use only a few years. The term used former is " Psychosozial".

AB: Drogenabhaenige Gefangene, die Verbreitung von Drogen und mit dem illegalen Drogenkonsum oftmals einherhegende Infektionskrankheiten bestimmen heute den Alltag vieler Strafvollzugsanstalten, nicht nur in Deutschland, sondern in Europa und vielen anderen Industrienationen. Vor diesem Hintergrund waechst die Notwendigkeit differenzierter gesundheitlicher und sozialer Hilfen fuer Drogenabhaengige im Vollzug. Die Entwicklung dieser Hilfen orientiert sich an den extramural praktizierten und bewaehrten Standards der Medizin, der Drogen- und AIDS-Hilfe. Eine Differenzierung der Hilfsangebote bedeutet fuer den Strafvollzug, dass neben den auf Abstinenz zielenden Angeboten der Aufklaerung, Beratung und Vermittlung in drogenfreie Langzeittherapien auch solche Strategien uebernommen werden, die auf Schadensbegrenzung abzielen: Dazu zaehlen neben infektionsprophylaktischen Angeboten auch die Substitutionsbehandlung. Im folgenden werden die Besonderheiten der Substitutionspraxis im Vollzug analysiert, ein Ueberblick ueber die gegenwaertige Praxis in den einzelnen Bundeslaendern gegeben, Problembereiche benannt und schliesslich werden erste Ueberlegungen zu Leitlinien einer Substitionsbehandlung im Vollzug angestellt.
