STIMULANT DEPENDENCE

MUDr. Karel Nešpor CSc
Psychiatrická léčebna Bohnice, Praha

Stimulant abuse is common both globally and in the Czech Republic. Methamphetamine abuse represents great risk for physical and mental health. We mention differential diagnostics and treatment of acute conditions such as intoxications and psychoses. We also describe long-term treatment of stimulant dependence. It includes nonaddictive medication, counseling, cognitive-behavioral therapy, contingency management, family therapy and long-term treatment at therapeutic communities.

Keywords: Key words: stimulants, methamphetamine, diagnostics, treatment.
