[An essential negative effect of a family history of substance use on readiness for drug dependence rehabilitation treatment in inpatients with addictions]. / Negativnoe vliianie semeinoi otiagoshchennosti na gotovnost' statsionarnykh patsientov s narkoticheskoi zavisimost'iu k prokhozhdeniiu reabilitatsionnoi programmy.

AIM: To reveal objective factors predicting the readiness of inpatient drug treatment patients to undergo a rehabilitation program. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In a retrospective comparative study, drug-dependent individuals (n=199, 16.6% females, 83.4% men, 91.5% opioid-dependent) were studied. After conducting motivational activities based on cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, the premorbid, anamnestic, clinical, socio-demographic characteristics of patients were studied as possible predictors of readiness for rehabilitation using binary logistic regression. RESULTS: Family history of substance use reduced the probability of readiness for rehabilitation by >4,5 times (p<0.0001, Exp (B) = 4.577, CI 95% [2.0556, 10.190]). The influence of other factors was weaker and manifested itself only with their combinations (female sex + use of several psychoactive drugs; intravenous drug injection + polydrug addiction; non-remission course of disease + family history of substance use) which increased the likelihood of readiness for rehabilitation. There was no effect of social/demographic variables. CONCLUSION: Family history of substance use significantly reduces the likelihood of readiness for rehabilitation. The clinical severity of the disease, on the other hand, increases the chances of readiness. Patients with a family history of substance use represent a specific group of patients requiring maximum efforts in the process of motivation for rehabilitation.

[The activity of drug addiction service of the Russian Federation: an assessment of statistical parameters and an analysis of results].

The authors studied changes in the structure of drug addiction services, the dynamics of outpatient and inpatient referrals for drug addiction treatment and effectiveness of drug addiction services in 2011 compared to the preceding period. There was a reduction of availability of drug treatment services due to the reduction of the number of drug addiction units and the depletion of human resource potential. The lack of structural development of rehabilitation sector of drug care services and low rates of its development as well as the decrease in the number of patients seeking treatment are highlighted. It has been concluded that the drug addiction services require reorganization of its regulatory and legal framework and need innovative organizational and management decisions and human resources trained in innovative thinking and technologies.
