Sažetak
The paper is focused on the role of social workers in a re-socialization process of treated alcoholics and their families. Statistics show that in Croatia is 250.000 registered alcoholics (around 7% of population) and that 12, 8 liter of pure alcohol was consumed per capita. This data put Croatia on the top of the alcohol consummation country list in the EU. The aim of this qualitative research was to find out the practical efficiencies of therapeutic group work of social workers with treated alcoholics and their spouses in 'clubs of treated alcoholics' (CTA). Participants of the research were social workers – therapists in CTA. The results show that the main achievements of these groups’ members are based on increasing their self- esteem, on making important decisions with new priorities, and positive changes in their life style, as well as on significant improvement of relationships with family members. This paper emphasizes the alcoholism as a national issue, highlights the importance of the CTA in protection and strengthening this vulnerable group, and also promotes the image of social work profession in a multidisciplinary approach to this national problem in Croatia.
