Abstract

The article reflects the ideas about the rehabilitation capacity and components as potentially important in overcoming the disease. Based on the analysis of theoretical and empirical studies, the components of the rehabilitation capacity were identified, revealing the features of the course of the disease of people with chemical dependence in different age groups. The study reflects the results based on the diagnosis of rehabilitators of two age groups: young and mature age, undergoing the social rehabilitation in five structural divisions of the regional state institution "Rehabilitation Center for Drug Addicts "Volya". On the basis of the obtained empirical data, the ratio of the components of the rehabilitation capacity in young and mature age is shown. The specificity of the rehabilitation capacity of chemical addicts in different age groups is noted. The analysis of age differences in the rehabilitation capacity is carried out, the features of the components depending on the age are revealed. It is shown that people with chemical dependence have a low and average level of rehabilitation capacity, therefore, a development program of the identified components is proposed.
