Abstract
Objective. To identify clinical and psychological features that contribute to the formation of therapeutic remission in patients with alcohol dependence (PAD).
Materials and methods. A comprehensive (clinical, experimental, psychological, statistical) comparative study was conducted of 79 PAD at the stage of therapeutic remission (icnluding 39 people in high-quality remission and 40 in low-quality remission) and 42 practically healthy individuals aged 27 to 55 (40.18 ± 10.2) years.
Results. It was found that the condition of patients with high-quality PAD in remission differed from the condition of patients with the threat of relapse and healthy individuals with significantly fewer health complaints (p < 0.05), higher indicators of psychological functioning (p < 0.01) and a high level of activation of the nonspecific adaptive reaction of the body (NARB) (p < 0.001).
It was found that the state of PAD in high remission differed from that of patients at risk of relapse and healthy individuals by a significantly lower number of health complaints (p < 0.05), higher indicators of psychological functioning (p < 0.01) and a high level of activation of nonspecific adaptive response of the body (NARB) (p < 0.001).
Conclusion. The formation of qualitative and long-term therapeutic remission in PAD requires not only specific changes with a weakening of the manifestations of the disease, but also a high level of NARB, which provides energy support for the process of recovery with integration into a healthy society.
