Driving license can be taken from addictological patients by diagnosing substance abuse syndrome or driving a motor vehicle under the influence of an addictive substance. After that, drivers are often sent by specialists to the outpatient addictolocial care for examination by an addictologist. However, there is currently no uniform workflow and the role of addictologist is unclear in this process. The main aim of this thesis is to describe the role of addictologist in outpatient addictolgical care in the process of assessment of the return of driving license after its previous removal in patients diagnosed with substance abuse syndrome. Data obtained by semi-structured interview with staff of 9 outpatient addictological cares, which have practical experience with the given issue, was fixed by audio recording and then transcribed into text form. Analysis of this data was done by the method of creating clusters, linking them to larger units, and organizing data into groups based on their similarity. Furthermore, the method of pattern capture, the simple enumeration method describing the frequency of the examined phenomena and the method of contrasts and comparison were used.

However, neither the path nor the spirit has the same face and final form. Although it stands on solid foundations, which are the organizational values (respect, openness, responsibility, relationship and cooperation) and is based on a long history and traditions, it is shaped by what every day brings to the Organization. Despite its functional support, the Organization is not free from mistakes, errors. However, it seeks to ensure that its...
