5.2.2.4 Outpatient Treatment Provided by NGOs<br />

Outpatient treatment in the <strong>Czech</strong> <strong>Republic</strong> is also available through NGOs; some of these programmes are<br />

accredited as healthcare facilities, and some also provide substitution treatment (these facilities and their clients may<br />

also be included in other reporting systems); the common denominator is that the NGOs apply for grants from the<br />

state budget to provide their services. In <strong>2010</strong> the Government Council for <strong>Drug</strong> Policy Coordination funded 13<br />

outpatient programmes that provided services to a total of 1,813 drug-using clients (Národní monitorovací středisko<br />

pro drogy a drogové závislosti, 2011j); see Table 5-13.<br />

In addition, only one facility in Prague, which has been run by the SANANIM civic association since 1996, offers<br />

long-term outpatient treatment in the form of a three-month course of treatment at a day care centre. <strong>The</strong> capacity of<br />

the programme is approximately ten persons.<br />

5.2.3 Residential Treatment<br />

5.2.3.1 Detoxification Units<br />

Detoxification units are inpatient healthcare facilities which are usually established and operated as adjuncts to<br />

psychiatric wards and addiction treatment departments. <strong>The</strong>se serve for short-term (usually one to three weeks)<br />

residential treatment aimed at managing the withdrawal syndrome prior to entering other (typically also residential)<br />

abstinence-oriented treatment.<br />

Further <strong>info</strong>rmation about detoxification units was first obtained in late August and early September during a study<br />

conducted by the Institute of Health Information and Statistics for the purposes of the <strong>Czech</strong> National Monitoring<br />

Centre for <strong>Drug</strong>s and <strong>Drug</strong> Addiction (the National Focal Point); for more <strong>info</strong>rmation see the 2009 <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> 72 .<br />

On the basis of the results of this study, the Institute of Health Information and Statistics added an extra table entitled ”Psychoactive<br />

substance detoxification in hospital wards and psychiatric hospitals” to its annual collection of data on the bed capacity of healthcare<br />
