Republic in 2010, of whom 367 were (mostly former or abstinent) injecting drug users (Národní monitorovací středisko pro drogy a drogové závislosti, 2011c). 7.3.3 Programmes Aimed at Drug Use in Recreational Settings Specific programmes for the reduction of harm in recreational settings were conducted in 2010 by a total of four organisations 104 in five programmes (Národní monitorovací středisko pro drogy a drogové závislosti, 2011j). These programmes established a total of 2,021 contacts (53.0% of them men; average age 22) and the most commonly reported illicit drug used was cannabis (25.5%), followed by ecstasy (16.2%) and pervitin (4.1%). Quality tests were performed on six tablets in total. In comparison with 2009, a decrease can be noted in the number of organisations and programmes (by one and two, respectively), as can a clear drop in the number of contacts – 3,774 contacts were recorded in 2009. In 2003, when the extent of services provided in recreational settings reached its peak, there were 18 active programmes which contacted nearly 5,000 clients. This fluctuation in the availability of services in recreational settings reflects both the amount of funding provided for the implementation of these programmes and the negative political and departmental standpoints regarding ecstasy quality screening tests at dance parties; for details see the 2007–2009 Annual Reports. One issue of the Zaostřeno na drogy (Focused on Drugs) bulletin addressed the preventive and harm reduction services in recreational settings in 2011 (Saberžanovová and Vacek, 2010). Among other points, it introduces a draft standard of professional competency for this type of service. The Safer Party Tour project also focused on recreational settings; for details see the chapter on Selective prevention (p. 44). 7.4 Responses to Other Health Correlates Among Drug Users The treatment of dual-diagnosis drug users in the Czech Republic usually takes place in the network of treatment facilities in consideration of the drug users’ specific needs; see the chapter on Drug-Related Treatment: Treatment Demand and Treatment Availability (p. 55). 104 Podané ruce association, Drop-In, a centre for prevention and treatment, Prevent civic association, and the Kappa-Help civic association. In 2009 there was also CPPT Pilsen, which discontinued the Dance8 project in 2010. page 111
8 Social Correlates and Social Reintegration The most significant social problems of drug users include family problems, unemployment, lower education, and a poor housing situation, which sometimes even leads to homelessness. These problems mainly accumulate among drug users who are members of ethnic minorities and among immigrants (in the Czech Republic, this mainly applies to Roma) and older drug users. It appears that the prevalence of drug use among Roma in the Czech Republic has been stable in recent years, involving mainly legal drugs such as alcohol and tobacco, with marijuana and pervitin representing the most widespread illicit drugs. The number of aftercare facilities increased in 2010 but their capacity and the number of clients did not grow significantly. There was a decrease in the number of places available in sheltered housing. The average age of aftercare clients decreased. 8.1 Social Exclusion and Drug Use 8.1.1 Social Exclusion among Drug Users Information about social problems among drug users, including those who are members of ethnic minorities, comes from two studies conducted in 2008 and is presented in the 2008 Annual Report. The socio-economic characteristics of treatment demands in connection with drug use are provided in the chapter on Selected Characteristics of Treatment Demands (p. 71). 8.1.2 Drug Use among Socially Excluded Groups 8.1.2.1 Roma Communities In the Czech Republic, social exclusion mainly concerns Roma communities. The exclusion is the product of the accumulation of social problems; the main factors influencing the social exclusion of Roma include long-term unemployment, low incomes, and either the unavailability or poor quality of housing (Kancelář Rady vlády pro záležitosti romské komunity, 2007). The 2010–2013 Roma Integration Policy was approved in late 2009; for details see the 2009 Annual Report. Monitoring and evaluation of the situation in Roma communities has been provided in the long term by the Office of the Government Council for Roma Minority Affairs within the framework of the Field Social Workers Support Programme. A total of 48 municipalities were involved in the programme and 66 jobs for field workers were supported in 2010 (Šimíková, 2010). The field social workers were in contact with 12,377 clients (9,948 persons being over the age of 15 and 2,429 persons under the age of 15) in 2010. Approximately one half of the clients were women. The outreach workers provided their clients with 37,853 contacts. A total of 58% over the age of 15 were long-term unemployed and 3% were illiterate. In terms of the problems addressed, services were most commonly provided in the areas of debt (36%), housing (23%), and unemployment (19%); see Table 8-1. The reporting form on fieldwork changed in 2010. For this reason, problems related to illicit drug use were not monitored in 2010 (Kancelář Rady vlády pro záležitosti romské menšiny, 2011). page 112
