Dynamics of changes in motivation of a chemically dependent person in the rehabilitation process
The article analyzes the dynamics of motivation of a chemically dependent person for treatment in the process of rehabilitation. The author notes that rehabilitation is a key element in the process of providing assistance. The most significant changes in the value orientation of the individual occur in the period of rehabilitation. Measures for the development of motivation should begin immediately from the moment of identification and continue throughout the process of recovery of the dependent and its inclusion in the life of society. The rehabilitation process should include certain factors and activities that contribute to the development of motivation for further recovery. The article presents the results of longitudinal studies in two rehabilitation centers practicing different approaches to the rehabilitation process. It was found that despite the positive changes in the dynamics of motivation for treatment, in general chemically dependent people in the process of rehabilitation exhibit extremely high, stable and long-term form of psychological protection - a denial. The results of the studies confirm that more than 50 percent of the rehabilitated people remain at the stage of denial, while they are already at the stage of adaptation in the rehabilitation process. This greatly complicates the process of rehabilitation, since the terms of the rehabilitation stages do not correspond to personal and emotional changes.
