Abstract
Within the past twenty years therapeutic communities (TCs) have become a major segment of drug treatment services in the Czech Republic. This paper describes the availability of such facilities, the specific characteristics of their staffing, the types of services provided, and the clients referred to them.
An analysis of therapeutic communities informed by the 2012 addiction treatment facility survey is presented on the basis of a summary of available data that have been continuously collected and published by the National Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction.
