We believe that under valuation of the significance of special psychotherapeutic work in applying the narcotic antagonist therapy is the main reason of its comparatively poor efficacy. Often the antagonist therapy is conducted while drug addicts are not psychologically prepared to give up taking drugs.

We have tried to develop a model of combination of the narcotic antagonist therapy with special psychotherapeutic work (i.e. with our working model of forming an antinarcotic psychological set). Our special psychotherapeutic model is based on the Uznadze psychological theory of set.

In the structure of the antinarcotic psychological set of the personality we have distinguished the following components: 1) sphere of motivation; 2) the environment; 3) behavior; 4) emotions; 5)memory; 6) habits, fixed psychological sets, reflexes; 7) cognitive formations and processes; 8) the system of the personality values; 9) the system of the personality social relationships; 10) factors of possible relapse and ways of copying with them;etc.

In every concrete case we try to reveal and work psychotherapeutically with those components of the antinarcotic psychological set of the personality, which are of decisive importance for removing the narcotic psychological dependence in the drug addict.

Working psychotherapeutically on the conscious and subconscious (by means of hypno-suggestive therapy) levels of the personality we try to coordinate psychological interventions on these levels.
