Abstract
Approximately 80% of drug users are drug abusers. Almost all of those who seek opiate replacement therapy are polydrug abusers. People seeking treatment are approximately 30 years of age. Therapeutic community care and communities have become common forms of treatment in the Finnish social welfare, healthcare and educational system. Therapeutic community care is based on the holistic care of mental health, physical health and social well-being.
