Currently, convicts who have repeatedly used drugs and have clinical signs of drug addiction are still admitted to penitentiary institutions in Russia. The incidence of mental disorders, including those associated with alcohol and drug addiction, constantly occupies a leading place in the structure of general pathology in prisons. Establishing the fact of drug abuse and the diagnosis of drug addiction makes it possible to promptly start carrying out further diagnostic and therapeutic measures, and to form an attitude towards drug refusal. In the future, a real opportunity appears to reduce recidivism,
to reduce the spread of legal and illegal drugs.
