Volume Issue Pages 11
Keywords AOD use; AOD associated consequences; public AOD use; policy recommendations; prevalence; Europe
Abstract (down) Throughout the year, bars, nightclubs, discotheques and other recreational venues provide young Europeans with opportunities to socialise and dance, often offering entertainment such as concerts and dance parties. In addition, large music festivals that are organised mostly during the summer months attract thousands of visitors. Surveys show that in many recreational venues the use of drugs is more prevalent than in the general population (EMCDDA, 2006).

Title Amphetamines and ecstasy Type Report
Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 120
Keywords illicit drug; drug market; drug trafficking; addiction; chemical addiction; AOD dependence; AOD consumption; AOD demand; AOD supply; illegal production of drugs; illicit drug industry; amphetamines; ecstasy
Abstract (down) Three years after the last global assessment of Amphetamine-Type Stimulants (ATS), the manufacture and trafficking of these drugs remains a serious and constantly evolving challenge. The 2011 Global ATS Assessment shines a powerful light on ATS helping governments to better understand this important phenomenon. Once viewed as purely a cottage industry, ATS manufacture and trafficking has undergone its own industrial revolution. After cannabis, ATS are the second most widely used drugs across the globe outstripping the use of heroin or cocaine. ATS are now manufactured and marketed with organized crime groups involved throughout the production and supply chain. Until recently, the ATS trade was sometimes ignored in favour of the traditional focus on heroin and cocaine. But there is growing recognition that the expansion of the ATS trade and its high profits threaten security, health and the welfare of populations across the globe. [...]

Title Zwei Jahrzehnte im Dienst der Gesundheit Type Miscellaneous
Year 2009 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 26 min.
Keywords other media; compact disc; audio CD; government and politics; public health; history; harm reduction; treatment and maintenance; heroin-assisted treatment; Switzerland; Zeltner, Thomas; interview; radio
Abstract (down) Thomas Zeltner, Direktor des Bundesamts für Gesundheit, tritt auf Ende Jahr in den Ruhestand. Nach fast zwei Jahrzehnten im Amt zieht er eine Bilanz über die Entwicklung des Gesundheitswesen und seine letzte grosse Herausforderung – die Grippepandemie. In seine Zeit als Direktor fielen viele wichtige Entscheide: Zeltner stellte sich hinter eine staatlich kontrollierte Heroinabgabe. Er kämpfte gegen den Rinderwahn und die Machenschaften der Zigarettenindustrie, verantwortete provokative Präventionsprogramme. Und auch in den letzten Tagen seiner Amtszeit blieb er viel beschäftigt. Die Schweinegrippe forderte ihn und sein Amt. Er kritisierte den Kantönligeist, der den Kampf gegen die Schweinegrippe behindert.

Title The therapeutic community : theory, model, and method Type Book Whole
Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages xviii, 452
Keywords treatment and maintenance; inpatient care; AOD dependence; group therapy; treatment program; therapeutic community; treatment model; socialization; peer prevention; treatment outcome
Abstract (down) This volume provides a comprehensive review of the essentials of the Therapeutic Community (TC) theory and its practical “whole person” approach to the treatment of substance abuse disorders and related problems. Part 1 outlines the perspective of the traditional views of the substance abuse disorder, the substance abuser, and the basic components of this approach. Part II explains the organizational structure of the TC, its work components, and the role of residents and staff. The chapters in Part III describe the essential activities of TC life that relate most directly to the recovery process and the goals of rehabilitation. The final part outlines how individuals change in the TC behaviorally, cognitively, and emotionally. It is an invaluable resource for all addictions professionals and students. The book describes the contemporary therapeutic community (TC) for addictions as a hybrid, a union of self-help and public support. It is an experiment in progress, reconfiguring the vital healing and teaching ingredients of self-help communities into a systematic methodology for transforming lives. The book’s 25 chapters include data concerning: (1) evolution of the TC and the need for theory; (2) biomedical concepts and the TC perspective; (3) view of the person; (4) physical environment, social organization, work, staff and peers in the TC; (5) program stages; (6) TC models, including privileges and sanctions, surveillance and security, community meetings and the encounter group; (7) individual change, including behaviors, cognitions, emotions, essential experiences and essential perceptions; (8) participation in the change process; (9) internalization and identity; (10) a conceptual framework of the treatment process; and (11) the challenge of evolution in therapeutic communities, including general guidelines for adaptations and modifications.

Title Reviewing current practice in drug-substitution treatment in the European Union Type Report
Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 280
Keywords treatment and maintenance; drug substitution therapy; methadone maintenance; buprenorphine maintenance; heroin-assisted treatment; Switzerland; Europe; European Union
Abstract (down) This volume is the result of an EMCDDA-commissioned study carried out in 1998 and 1999 into one of the most widely discussed drug-related topics in Europe today: substitution treatment. The study was prompted by the lively debate on the issue in the mid-1990s, when Switzerland launched its first heroin trial, France began buprenorphine treatment and methadone programmes expanded rapidly throughout Europe. These initiatives led to an increased focus on substitution treatment and to the trajectories it was to follow in the future. The volume opens with a historical overview of substitution treatment, the development of methadone maintenance and other substitution services and a section on monitoring and evaluation. It closes with a series of country profiles for each of the then 15 EU Member States, all containing an introduction to substitution treatment in the country concerned.
