title: [Psychosocial rehabilitation of chronic addicts as illustrated by the example of the work done by the Gemeinnütziger Verein für Rehabilitation e. V. Gütersloh (author's transl)].
abstract: In chronic addicts, the secondary handicaps usually dominate the disease pattern. There is a lack of therapeutic facilities which can be used specifically to tackle this problem. The authors introduce an institution which has been working since March 1974 with the consequent application of a Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) concept in the treatment of chronic addicts. The method of working and the ranking of PSR are explained in detail. Efficiency control carried out within the framework of a dissertation for a diploma in psychology, confirms the efficiency of the PSR approach for the group of chronic addicts and points to further approaches towards therapeutic differentiation.
