the programming of (often long-term) care for addicted patients with complex problems.<strong>The</strong> guideline presents suggestions for a target-group analysis when different types ofcare are considered for patients with complex problems. <strong>The</strong> basic subjects for such ananalysis are patient needs, access to patients, and linking a care program to these needs.<strong>The</strong> use of this guideline is considered to be improved by a brief additional training ofprofessionals.Chapter one of the guideline contains four subjects:1. a description of the usefulness of patient profiles: how to increase the response rate,how to reduce drop-out rates, and how to increase the effectiveness of treatment orcare;2. steps to be taken toward such a profile: management support within the organisation,sketching the context, data collection, determining the need of care, constructing apatient profile, organizing feedback, and a specified description of the best fit of caresupply;3. information on target group analysis: by a multidisciplinary working group inside anorganization, if necessary supplemented by external expertise; and4. reflections on the time and man power needed to realise this analysis: 10-30 days for2-3 professionals, working group time some six months.In the second chapter of the guideline the constituent steps are described for theanalysis of the target group. Working schemes and elaborated examples are described inthe last part of the guideline.11.2.7 Pharmacological treatment for drug dependence among prisoners<strong>The</strong> guideline for pharmacological treatment among prisoners was issued by the Ministryof Security and Justice and the Institute for Quality in Health Care (CBO). <strong>The</strong> guidelinewas supported by a consensus working group with members from different professionaldepartments: 1) professionals from the forensic medical, psychological and psychiatriccircuit; 2) nurses and medical specialists in prisons; 3) pharmacists, and 4) physicians,specialized in addiction. <strong>The</strong> initial target was to construct a guideline for methadonetreatment in prisons, but the target population very often has more problems besidessubstance use. <strong>The</strong>se other problems (e.g. comorbidity) forced the working group to castthe net much wider, including other medical interventions. Still, the impetus of thisguideline lies on opiates dependence.<strong>The</strong> Department of Judicial Institutions (DJI) of the Ministry of Security and Justiceendorses the following explicit points of departure or principles. Prisoners should receiveefficient health care with comparable quality as in general health care, they should alsobe treated with the same evidence-based interventions as people outside prison, andcontinuity of care should be guaranteed when addicted prisoners need it.<strong>The</strong> guideline consists of ten chapters, covering the following issues: the effectivenessof pharmacological treatments for substance dependent prisoners; epidemiological dataon drug dependence in prisons, the state of the art of pharmacological treatment ofopiate dependence in general; criteria for the eligibility of prisoners for methadonetreatment, suggestions to cope with comorbid problems among prisoners when they receivepharmacological treatment (e.g. infectious diseases, somatic disorders, psychiatricdisorders, pregnancy), criteria for decision making concerning the use of benzodiazepinesamong opiate dependents in prison, decision making criteria targeting the use of othermedication by target group members (e.g. naltrexone, tranquilizers), the organization of165
methadone treatment, and guidelines for registration and for cooperation with externalorganizations and with other levels within the judicial circuit (DJI 2008).11.2.8 Treatment of cannabis problems in youth and young adults<strong>The</strong> guideline annex protocol for the treatment of cannabis problems deals with the outpatienttreatment of cannabis problems among young people from 12 up to including 23years (Ivens et al. 2008). At the same time a working book was published for homeworkfor the clients (Ivens 2008). Both were written by an expert affiliated with one institutefor addiction care. During the coming years, comparable publications for problems withother drugs than cannabis are foreseen for this target group.For the cannabis guideline a supportive literature review was conducted, presentingthe following topics: 1) epidemiological data on cannabis use among the target group, 2)the effects of cannabis use on young people, 3) the use of classification systems, instrumentsfor screening and diagnosis, main results of treatment effect studies, and 4) theusefulness of client profiles for determining the most adequate treatment options (Wittenberg2006). <strong>The</strong> guideline briefly mentions several principles for treatment, forexample the targets, criteria for inclusion, comorbid problems, the role of significant others(family, friends), the flexible role of phases of behaviour change, the materials to beused, and guiding principles of the treatment process. Principles are for example: clientsfirst, start with motivational enhancement, give homework, building a therapeutic relationship,tackling patient compliance, urine tests, relapses, and prevention of drop-out.Finally, some background information is presented for the professional about types ofcannabis use among young people, existent treatment options, and methods and techniques.Two intervention types are mentioned: lifestyle training 1 and 2 for adults (based oncognitive-behavioural principles) and the Cannabis Youth Treatment Series (Webb et al.2002). <strong>The</strong> interventions focus on correcting inadequate coping strategies and dysfunctionalcognitions via motivational enhancement techniques, self control, cue exposure,behaviour skills, and relaps prevention. <strong>The</strong> number of sessions depends on the need ofthe client.11.2.9 Disorders in alcohol use: diagnosis and treatment<strong>The</strong> last guideline for dealing with disorders in alcohol use was produced by a specialworking group of the National Steering Group Multidisciplinary Guideline Development inMental Health (see § 11.1). It was done with the accordance of several professional organizations(e.g. for physicians, nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists) and was supportedby the <strong>Trimbos</strong> Institute and the Institute for Quality in Health Care (CBO) (<strong>Trimbos</strong><strong>instituut</strong>/CBO2009). <strong>The</strong> guideline was initiated by the Dutch Foundation for Psychiatryand funded by the Order of Medical Specialists.In general, alcohol dependence is traced when it exists already for a long time. <strong>The</strong>target is to improve (early) diagnosis and treatment for one of the biggest problems inhealth care. This guideline has 15 chapters and gives recommendations and advice for 1)the diagnosis of alcohol problems of adult patients, 2) criteria for choosing in- or outpatientdetoxification, and 3) recommendations for treatment. <strong>The</strong> guideline further describesinstruments for case finding in the general medical practice, and laboratory teststhat determine acute and chronic alcohol abuse. Other subjects are 1) the effectivenessof pharmacological treatments (e.g. acamprosate, naltrexone and disulphiram in targetingabstinence or reduction of use), 2) the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for166
