Persons suffering from narcotic substances

Goals:

1. To enhance self-confidence and ability of solving individual problems constructively;
2. Analyze parallel creation and testing of innovative working rehabilitation methods sharing international experience

Innovation:

Traditionally the rehabilitation of persons suffering from addictive disorders is understood as medical and psychosocial rehabilitation. Within this project the traditional rehabilitation is supplemented with an other one – vocational rehabilitation. According to the information provided by project partners this kind of rehabilitation is not carried out in Lithuania, so the idea of DP is already innovative.

This composition of DP when the responsibilities are shared by local authority, NGO, education, business sectors, target group and the employers is an innovative activity. This form of problem solving and organizing joint activities strategy insures the continuation of the project and more efficient rehabilitation for drug addicts, better chances to enter labor market as well as support and help making first steps towards becoming the full-member of the society.

Activities:

1. Project administration, project executive group meeting;
2. Periodical selection of the project participants and support during the project;
3. Design and application of the motivation program on professional skills training and participating in the labor market in order to obtain legal income for individuals addicted to drugs;
4. Design and application of the program for colleagues working with addicts;

6. Development of the practical skills training place;
7. Training of project participants according chosen professions;

4. Concerned parties and society is informed about the project and its produced outcome;
5. Executed provisions of the transnational agreement, project executive group members gained experience acting in the multicultural environment, for project participants introduced activities of the rehabilitation centers in other European countries;
6. DP members learned to act in the conditions of equal partnership.

1. Designed motivation program on professional skills training and participating in the labor market in order to obtain legal income for individuals addicted to drugs will be applied in the rehabilitation program package of Vilnius Center for Addictive Disorders and other rehabilitation centers;
2. Project participants provided with theoretical knowledge and working experience will increase their competitive potential acting in the labor market;
3. Colleagues working together with addicted persons will get knowledge how to act in the different situations;
4. Developed methods and good practice will be shared with other municipalities of Lithuania;
5. DP members will get more experience by collaborating with foreign DPs and will apply it in the future projects;
6. DP members will maintain running this project and developed structure of collaboration.

This project might be as a pattern because of the “multiplier” effect. Through this project the problems of employment of the target group can be solved fundamentally, so it can be adapted:

• to any Lithuanian region;
• to another social group of limited working capacity.
