„Sicherheit finden” – Akzeptanz eines integrativen Therapieangebotes für Posttraumatische Störungen und Substanzmissbrauch bei Patientinnen mit Alkoholabhängigkeit

Zusammenfassung

In den letzten Jahren wurden mehrere Therapieprogramme zur integrativen Behandlung von Sucht und Traumafolgen entwickelt. Die vorliegende Untersuchung überprüfte die Akzeptanz eines stabilisierenden Therapieprogramms („Sicherheit finden”) bei 38 ambulant behandelten Patientinnen mit Alkoholabhängigkeit und komorbider Posttraumatischer Belastungsstörung (PTBS). Insgesamt wurden Inhalte, aber auch Struktur, Arbeitsmaterialien und die integrative Vorgehensweise sehr positiv bewertet. Die Befunde sprechen für eine gute Akzeptanz von „Sicherheit finden” auch bei Suchtkranken im deutschsprachigen Raum.

Abstract

In the last years, a variety of integrated interventions for patients with substance abuse and posttraumatic disorders have been developed. The aim of this study was to examine the acceptance of a present-focused treatment program (“Seeking Safety”) among 38 female outpatients with alcohol dependence and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Participant's satisfaction with the content of the treatment, its structure and the session handouts was high. The findings suggest a high acceptance of Seeking Safety among German patients with substance dependence.
