 AB    Basic treatment of drug dependent patients begins with detoxification
       and diagnosis of drug related and drug induced diseases. The therapeutic
       approach has to be oriented on the career of drug addiction itself and
       constitutional psychopathology. Patients must undergo specialized care
       if the drug dependence is complicated by accompanying diseases. All
       patients experience a life without drugs on rehabilitation programs.
       Treatment is defined both by a highly structured milieu and by the
       intention of getting the patient acquainted to a self-determined life.
       Subsequently, a carefully designed follow-up program is needed. Present
       debates about legalization of drugs diminish the readiness of the youth
       to do without drugs.
