... when does it more quietly weeping. An addict and his dog.

This is one of the stories I'm most fond of, was written by a social worker of the Cooperative Magliana 80, which intervention on drug dealing in that neighborhood Roman who has linked his name to the degradation and crime. Today, degradation and crime have not disappeared, but the retired and living with a white collar class "petty bourgeois", as it was in the 70s. The Camper was used, in agreement with the drug services in ASL, to decentralize the substitution treatment with methadone and bring more close to a series of patients who lived a chronic condition addiction now ... in this theory, and sometimes in practice ... basically instead flocked to Camper those most problematic in terms of behavioral, with their psychotic or borderline pathology, concomitant with a massive drug use and a life lived beyond the margins of the law, put in serious difficulty services of ASL. The team of campers was mixed, the ASL doctor and nurses, social workers Magliana 80, often with a former drug rehabilitation completed and successfully maintained that "knew" how to deal with those difficult people. My function was to listen to the Attendant anxieties of these people to the theme of decay, disease and death, themes which they crossed in first person and reactivated by the relationship with these particular patients, which puts them in a delicate position. I think, I hope, have helped to "not get hurt" these special people, full of life and experience, with a sensitivity and a charge out of the ordinary ... We spent many hours together and many years to discuss ways to think, evaluate the job, seek, collect and process personal anguish deep, to interpret the meaning of relational webs that are activated with patients ... some of these players graduated and became a colleague, who has become grandfather, who died of AIDS by dedicating the last days of life working down the street with "Toxic" ... others still do not know what was their destiny ... As I write I do not know if I ever thanked them for all they taught me, I though I was their supervisor ... it is time to bridge this gap ...

Here's the story, I find it very touching, even for the presence of a dog, only affected the patient's call Andrea ...

Andrea was one of the first to come to the Camper. He lived and lives in Olympia and Donna with the closing of Ser.T had found a little difficulty in taking into account that he was to 280 mg of methadone maintenance plus three Minias day. Minias not three tablets, three bottles of Minias.

arrived late preceded by Lucky that melted the lead immediately after they entered the parking lot.

We put three quarters of an hour to throw down those two big glass, I had never seen such a thing, I swear.

She always washed and scented with his big face as a child always slightly sweaty and with long red leash attached to Lucky and he was definitely smiling a lot more to laugh but that would be really funny.

attempt at explanation. If a hundred people who had come to the camper was not someone at random, this was not a problem. If you could not see half Andrea, this was a problem, a big problem.

If was soon was worse, because there 'was no time even to throw up and start over with 280.

Once the summer has led the Police. Lucky was not there, had left him tied to a pole somewhere. He wept and trembled strong even stronger. They had stopped by mezz'etto smoke as he spoke with two kid.

It took relatively little to drink the first 280 and we can say that, as I saw it, was more concerned about Lucky. He threw up facing the door Motorhome and departed as usual much more agitated than usual, even the Police was agitated, put him in the car and run away, but stopped before crashing out of the parking lot. He vomited a second time without leaving the machine.

him back to the doctor and someone called the manager Ser.T, strong coughing ec'aveva high blood pressure, a lot. The police did not seem to want to let go not yet, got back on the doctor's Camper took a Plasil, intramuscular, he sat down one quarter of an hour and the nurse poured him the usual 280.

Li took up this time and his stomach felt numb from Plasil bear. They took him away, I knew then that they had only the sheet of seizure, only that. Someone said it was shameful that someone else had paid for him.

I do not think it went well. I spoke with him I've got and told me that he vomited in the lead, on a desk, who began to cough and scatarrare everywhere, which had swollen hands and also his face and then there was nothing to be paid.

Because he is the smoke had even given him the kid, this is, but the kid had thrown the Police because they had seen from afar, as they were in uniform and I too was true I had seen them.

And perhaps even the Police if they are felt to let in Regina Coeli a Christian in that condition for so little.

is better now, it has been for three months and told the Twins have climbed with the drip.

E 'detention to forty, and a bottle of methadone Minias.

It 's always easier to cry when he cries but does so more slowly.

Our kids and "new drugs". Story of a shortcut to live ...

For years I supervised the unit that dealt Road elle-called "new drugs" consumed mainly in clubs by very young children: the various forms of Ecstasy these drugs are empathetic, have the main effect of exceeding the normal timidizza and embarrassment that we can be in contact with peers that adolescents approach the topic of sexuality and extroverts feel at peace with the world, to "pick up" anyone who felt a cool or a big pussy, able to exercise sexual freedom often beyond the limits of their emotional capacity to endure similar experiences, you can dance all night and feel omnipotent, the damage is not only physical or psychopathological, heat stroke, panic attacks, psychotic crises: the biggest damage is avoidance of the existential condition in which we must overcome the fear of ' get in touch with each other, fear of sexuality, fear of not being sufficiently appreciated / ae thus build a personal identity and psychosexual. This kind of drugs have a strong appeal because it can help you avoid the problem, often with the help of a few beers and barrel made before entering a discotheque, and some benzodiazepine tablet or snorted heroin before taking it home in the morning to lessen the effects of stimulants, or "otherwise dispose of and get my tanano me." Out of roughly 10,000 boys and girls club contacted in 1 to 2 had experienced some form of substance, it is true that experience does not automatically become a drug addict, but the numbers are huge and made this experience continues to head ribalzarmi in creating questions, reflections and by father and fascinated by the young person, concern. This is one of the stories published in "Stories of the Road" Arion editions, written by a psychology of Magliana 80. Helping these kids to live not only in action, to tell their story, to feel they have a mind which can be held in mind and consider their feelings, thoughts, images, ideas, aspirations, disappointments, frustrations and anger, both in intrapsychic dimension in interpersonal, is the "cure", the cure that can give an alternative to a mind conditioned and manipulated by the chemistry of substances consumed, shortcuts live ...

One afternoon ....

E 'on Sunday afternoon. I, Alessandra and Silvana see you at an afternoon shift at the Heaven nightclub, located in the Pyramid. Every afternoon on Saturday and Sunday, the club welcomes children aged between 14 and 18 years, although it is not unusual to meet young people over.

As usual, before moving on to the local time, we face on things to take with us and prepare the necessary materials (leaflets, condoms ... candles ... put towels on the table) to make them visible and to create a space that distinguishes us and welcome us. We carry gadgets and even sweets that are chosen bearing in mind the tastes of the boys., always to facilitate contact with them.

organized the material we take the car, we agree on who should be driving, and then we move to dell'Heaven.

When we arrived in front of the room, we find a bunch of kids crowded in front, we have no problems entering, thanks to the excellent relationship with the organizing of ........., afternoons dedicated to children. The excellent relationship established with him, from the first year of the project, meant that everything we do happen in close synergy with the local program. This not only helped contacts and facilitated the acceptance by the context (teens - operators of the local operators of Magliana 80) but has also stimulated the creativity of possible things to offer in the future ... ... ... ... ... .. the place has been great for us Monitoring the behavior of the target group, an excellent training for our work.

We go to the disco, where the boys of the team frantically end of the final preparations and we settle into couches in the console that is in front of the track, a position that allows us to speak with both the boys and with the dj, if necessary to draw attention to our work.

assembling the materials, light the candles, condoms are placed individually on a basket and we are ready for the 'event' .... ... ... The music starts. The kids flock to the track ... ... and slowly begin to move towards ... .. ... .. at first timidly and then more self-confident and enterprising ... that may be due to our friendly attitude!

The boys are coming and we will we move towards trying to explain that the material contains information about how drugs work, indicating the aspects and risks, in other words, the consequences harmful psychological and physical health.

to add drug information including the condom, which is not a gadget, but we can talk about the risks of sexually transmitted diseases and then let the opportunity to kid / a to ask questions if they have, or something to tell him how it happened that afternoon.

After a few hours we were there, our table is close to a boy, so shy, I asked what we do and who we are. I immediately tell them that we are a group that works to Magliana 80, who are concerned with prevention drugs, particularly synthetic and ecstasy.

show him our information material and offer it to him, asking him if he knows the substance of which I speak. The boy replied shyly, looking down, so calls that have effects on the brain and I speak of the action on serotonin, the long-term effects and the possibility of panic attacks also appear. ... Piero looks into my eyes as the first, while remaining attentive, kept his eyes down, and finally asks me if I'm a psychologist.

I tell him yes, and away from the table, I told him, tells me she has started using ecstasy about a year and a half ago, attending during the weekend, a group of friends who went to discos and that, after a romantic disappointment, he wanted a little 'react and not think ...

Piero, who has 17 years, had continued to use ecstasy for about eight months every weekend at home ... then they realized he was wrong. ... He was able to talk with his father, also because, meanwhile, had appeared very intense anxiety which had convinced him to seek help. I ask him who had turned and the boy replied that his father had accompanied him to a CIM where there was a psychologist. He added that the psychologist who follows him is well and that he understood of things, even if he is impatient to get results. I urge you not to give up, confirming the possible link between his anxiety and use of the substance ... and finally add that will get more information by psychologists of our door which provides a number and address. I tell him to search for Fabio, or even in our home, but the reinforcement to continue the path taken.

Piero thanks me and tells me it's the first time speaks of this experience with a stranger, she smiles and walks away.

Immediately anxiety is not normal, usually the guests going to the bathroom light switch on the small ....

Rest two minutes still on the bed trying to listen if you hear noises. Absolute silence. I get up and walk out the office on my way to the kitchen. I think with that light so strong and violent even my colleague will be awakened. Into the kitchen. There is a person, his back to goal, at the sink, still. It strikes me now knife lying on the kitchen counter: It is the biggest we have. I recognized the person is Mark.

That did not calm me, tonight was very "fact" of pills, and all his actions seemed meaningless. I'm worried, worried. How are you? Be threatening, dangerous? The fact that he is completely still worries me, seems lost in a void.

I decide to take action. I talk to him without moving, keeping a safe distance from him: "What are you doing?". Mark has a start, says he heard me coming. Very slowly turns and lifts a container of salt that must have taken the belief (the door is open), does not talk, it looks a bit ', the rest, takes a step forward and take the knife. My anxiety is at its peak, but I try to calm down and see what happens. She looks a bit 'then the rest. She looks at me and says, "I wanted a drink of water." Totters, almost falls. He turns and walks slowly toward the bathroom and disappeared inside. Quickly into the kitchen and replace salt and knife. I understand now that it will be good the next day remove the knives from the kitchen. I do not now and not to create unrest. Marco comes out of the bathroom, looks at me, but does not speak and staggered dramatically, he returns to the bedroom. After a minute I follow him. It 's all off, but through the external light, filtered through the window, I see quite well. It remains a bit ' then slowly sat up in bed she lies and says: "Salt and knife." I'll be back in the kitchen and take off the knives, putting them in an envelope that I bring to the office. I turn off the light. I go back to bed. I had a lot of fear. I try to relax. Rest for a long time with open eyes in the dark.
