    Introduction of various technical methods into drug rehabilitation work

    Reporter: For drug addicts, mental addiction is the most difficult to get rid of. What measures have judicial and administrative drug rehabilitation places taken to get rid of mental addiction and what results have been achieved?

    Cao Xuejun: In view of the worldwide problem of drug rehabilitation, judicial and administrative drug rehabilitation places have carefully explored and actively practiced the methods and methods of drug rehabilitation. They have introduced modern medicine, psychology, sports rehabilitation, traditional Chinese medicine and other techniques and methods into drug rehabilitation work, and created and tried such as transcranial magnetic drug rehabilitation, internal medicine, etc.Methods and methods such as observation psychotherapy, mindfulness psychotherapy, detoxification and rehabilitation exercises, traditional Chinese medicine massage, VR detoxification, and Tibetan medicine detoxification have achieved good results so far.

    Chen Yuhai: In order to improve the withdrawal effect of detoxification, Zhejiang has actively explored the road of scientific detoxification in the past three years, forming four paths and four methods. Through comprehensive detoxification and treatment, the effect of detoxification is continuously improved. The four major paths are drug rehabilitation and medical treatment, psychological correction, physical rehabilitation, and cognitive education.

    The four methods are in terms of detoxification and medical treatment, using Western medicine therapy, proprietary Chinese medicine therapy, and physical therapy to help detoxification personnel physically detoxify and reduce their withdrawal symptoms. On this basis, the focus is on addiction treatment, mainly using repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation to repair brain damage, reduce heart addiction, and improve cognition and mood. In terms of psychological correction and treatment, in addition to doing a good job of mental health education, individual psychological counseling, group psychological counseling and other conventional psychological correction, VR drug addiction detection and treatment system is mainly used, and the theory of colliding reflexes is used to help drug rehabilitation personnel reduce their craving for drugs. In terms of physical rehabilitation, targeted training is carried out to help drug rehabilitation personnel improve their physical fitness and enhance their physical fitness to resist drugs and fight drugs. In terms of cognitive education, through classroom education, individual education and online online learning, we can improve and correct the deviations in the understanding of drug rehabilitation personnel, strengthen the willingness and motivation to quit drugs, and establish correct values.

    Reporter: The work of detoxification should be more scientific and specialized. At present, how are the various stages of detoxification divided? Are there any standards?

    Chen Yuhai: Inside the mandatory isolation drug rehabilitation site, according to the rules of drug rehabilitation work, it is divided into four stages, that is, four stages. The first stage is the physiological detoxification period, the second stage is the educational adaptation period, the third stage is the rehabilitation consolidation period, and the fourth stage is the return guidance.period.

    The duration of the physiological detoxification period is about half a month. According to the detoxification status of the detoxification personnel and the treatment status of the detoxification period, they will be detoxified in stages. After passing the qualification, it will be transferred to the educational adaptation period. Within one month, the drug rehabilitation personnel will be educated on the norms, codes, and development during the drug rehabilitation period, and informed of their rights, obligations, patterns of drug rehabilitation, and methods of drug rehabilitation during the drug rehabilitation period, so that the drug rehabilitation personnel can cooperate with the next step of drug rehabilitation. After the diagnosis and evaluation are passed, the rehabilitation and consolidation period is entered. During the period, while abstaining from treatment and labor, the period is from one year and six months to one year and nine months. Then, the physical indicators, physical rehabilitation indicators, and psychological indicators of drug rehabilitation personnel are re-evaluated, and after passing the qualification, they enter the return guidance period, which usually takes half a month. After the detoxification is completed, a comprehensive report on detoxification will be issued to inform the detoxification personnel of the changes in various indicators during the two-year detoxification period.

    Drug rehabilitation personnel can shop and meet friends

    Reporter: Many people don't know much about drug rehabilitation work. Please introduce this work?

    Cao Xuejun: Drug rehabilitation refers to drug rehabilitation personnel who voluntarily go to drug rehabilitation places run by local people's governments at or above the county level or drug rehabilitation places run by social forces in accordance with the law to detoxify, and sign agreements with these places to live and work while recovering from drugs. This is a public welfare cause.

    Drug rehabilitation places provide medical services for voluntary drug rehabilitation personnel, provide detoxification treatment and daily diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and carry out targeted psychological correction and rehabilitation training to promote their full physical and mental recovery. In addition, vocational and technical training is provided for drug rehabilitation personnel so that they can return to society and have the skills to make a living.

    Drug rehabilitation personnel engage in certain labor production in drug rehabilitation places, and the places pay them labor remuneration. The personal freedom and activity space of drug rehabilitation personnel are fully respected. They can shop, meet with relatives and friends, and participate in recreational and sports activities in the premises. Drug rehabilitation personnel practice self-management, self-education, and self-service.

    Drug rehabilitation places pay attention to the personality respect, emotional exchanges, life care, and protection of rights and interests of these voluntary drug rehabilitation personnel, so as to fully mobilize their enthusiasm for drug rehabilitation, enhance their ability to adapt to society, and continuously improve the effect of drug rehabilitation. Places where this work is done very well include Sanshui Drug Rehabilitation Institute in Guangdong Province and Baidi Lake Drug Rehabilitation Institute in Hunan Province.

    Help educate and help strong ringers return to society

    Reporter: What is the development trend of the number of people forcibly quarantined and detoxified in my country? How does smoking a new type of synthetic drug affect the work of compulsory isolation and detoxification?

    Cao Xuejun: In recent years, the number of people in compulsory isolation and detoxification has been growing rapidly, and there are currently more than 240,000 people in the institute.

    At present, the drug situation in my country is still very serious, and it is in a period of high incidence of drug crimes and a period of tough drug control. Judging from the situation of forcibly quarantined drug rehabilitation personnel admitted to drug rehabilitation places, the number of people taking new synthetic drugs has increased rapidly, at about 70%. Among these drug addicts who have taken new types of drugs, the number of drug addicts who have quit drugs many times and the number of negative cases are gradually increasing, which has brought some pressure to the drug rehabilitation work.

    Compared with traditional drugs, new synthetic drugs have different effects on people and require different treatment methods. This also brings challenges to how we adopt scientific and professional treatment methods and methods to improve the level of education and treatment. At present, compulsory isolation and drug rehabilitation places across the country are actively exploring and taking strong measures to deal with this trend.

    Reporter: There are situations where it is difficult for forcibly quarantined drug rehabilitation personnel to return to society and maintain their ethics. For this reason, what kind of assistance and education work has been carried out in judicial and administrative drug rehabilitation places? How is the effect?

    Cao Xuejun: Drug rehabilitation work is a systematic project, and it needs to be managed by the society. It is very important for drug rehabilitation personnel to return to society after the mandatory drug rehabilitation and isolation period in the workplace expires. After returning to society, how to continue to consolidate the effect of detoxification is also an important task. Various places have taken the initiative to extend the field of work to the society. Many drug rehabilitation guidance stations (workstations) have been established in towns and streets to help people who have quit drugs. At the same time, take advantage of the professional advantages of drug rehabilitation centers to provide technical guidance and training to social drug rehabilitation managers and drug rehabilitation volunteers.

    Community guidance stations (workstations) for social rehabilitation personnel in the drug rehabilitation community in the community, through the establishment of personal files, organize drug rehabilitation personnel to report on their thoughts and receive urine tests, carry out centralized education activities, organize group psychological counseling, counseling, health counseling and individual psychological counseling, etc., to ensure that drug rehabilitation personnel who return to society are protected.Supervision and control.

    In view of the difficulties in the life and employment of drug rehabilitation personnel, the community guidance station (workstation) regularly organizes assistance and assistance for difficulties, coordinates relevant departments to apply for low-insurance and medical insurance for them, and helps solve employment problems. It has a good effect on improving the control rate of drug rehabilitation personnel after returning and reducing the rate of relapse.

    Build an excellent professional team

    Reporter: Drug rehabilitation work is a very professional job, and it is inseparable from a professional rehabilitation team. What work has the Ministry of Justice done to improve the professionalism of the drug rehabilitation police? 

    Cao Xuejun: Under the new situation, the people's requirements and expectations for drug rehabilitation work are getting higher and higher. To perform their duties and missions well, there must be an excellent professional team. In recent years, the Ministry of Justice has attached great importance to the construction of the drug rehabilitation police team and has taken a series of effective measures to improve the quality of the team.:

    In terms of personnel recruitment, actively coordinate the National Civil Service Bureau, explore the implementation of a classification recruitment system, and broaden the channels for the introduction of professional talents. There are more and more police officers with professional knowledge backgrounds.

    Strengthen the construction of a team of professionals in drug rehabilitation work, requiring that the proportion of professionals closely related to drug rehabilitation work such as law, education, psychology, prison management, medicine, drug rehabilitation, and information engineering reach more than 70% of the total number of police. At present, there are 33,700 police officers with the above-mentioned core professional knowledge background in the country, accounting for nearly 60% of the total number of police officers. In addition, there are 11,700 police officers with professional qualifications such as teachers, psychological counselors, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and fitness trainers in the whole system, accounting for 20% of the total number of police officers.

    In terms of education and training, the Ministry of Justice regards the education and training of police officers as an important basic work, closely integrates the actual work, compiles training materials, expands the scale of training, enriches the training content, and innovates training methods. The effect is obvious. Last year, the entire system trained a total of 134,000 police officers. Through these tasks, it has laid a good foundation for improving the professional quality of the entire team and supporting the scientific and professional level of drug rehabilitation work.
