Abstract

Substance dependency is a social phenomenon, which is difficult to deal with because of the fact that it is multifactorial. The present study will investigate the quality of life and the sense of coherence. There are substitution and maintenance programs which they administer methadone and buprenorphine to people dependent on substances, which initially aim at substitution of substances and then gradually reducing the dose, to avoid the appearance of withdrawal symptoms. Measuring Quality of Life examines how much is the patient satisfied with his current physical health, his mental health, his social relations and the general environment in which he lives. Sense of coherence, a theory by Antonovsky (1979), describes both the prevention and the treatment of difficult situations such as dependence. The purpose of this study is to investigate the strengthening of the sense of coherence and the study of improving the quality of life of the members of the performing OKANA substitution programs with methadone and buprenorphine. In the study participated a total of 134 people, who were divided into three categories, based on the substitute the were administered, their gender and the time they were in the program. Data analysis was performed with the SPSS statistical program, while the method used was t-test. The members of both programs that have been more time under substitution, have higher levels of general health, while methadone members have a higher sense of coherence. Also, men who are both in a program of methadone and buprenorphine since 2016, show higher levels Change Health than women of the same programs, while in all other scales of quality of life it cannot be stated with certainty that they have higher prices.
