Özet:

 Purpose: This study aims to compare the psychological and behavioral profiles of individuals with substance use disorders SUD according to their prison history and probation status. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 607 inpatients aged 1825 diagnosed with SUD and treated at the AMATEM service of a private addiction hospital in Istanbul between 2022 and 2023. The Addiction Profile Index API, a validated multidimensional assessment tool, was used to measure addiction severity, psychological symptoms, and behavioral traits. Results: Individuals under probation exhibited significantly higher levels of addiction severity, diagnostic scores, life impact, and craving compared to those not under probation. Their total API scores were also significantly elevated, alongside increased anger and reduced self-confidence. Crack use was significantly more common among those with a prison history, while cocaine use was higher among probationers. Conclusion: These results suggest that legal status is closely linked to addiction severity and psychological symptom patterns. The findings also indicate a bidirectional and multidimensional relationship between SUD and criminal behavior. Intervention programs should be structured not only according to addiction symptoms but also according to the individuals criminal history and psychosocial needs.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, madde kullanım bozukluğu MKB olan bireylerin psikolojik ve davranışsal profillerini cezaevi geçmişleri ve denetimli serbestlik durumlarına göre karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmaya, 2022-2023 yılları arasında İstanbuldaki özel bir bağımlılık hastanesinin AMATEM servisinde yatarak tedavi gören ve MKB tanısı konan 18-25 yaş arası 607 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Bağımlılık şiddetini, psikolojik semptomları ve davranışsal özellikleri ölçmek için doğrulanmış çok boyutlu bir değerlendirme aracı olan Bağımlılık Profil İndeksi API kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Denetimli serbestlik altındaki bireyler, denetimli serbestlik altında olmayanlara kıyasla önemli ölçüde daha yüksek düzeyde bağımlılık şiddeti, tanı puanları, yaşam etkisi ve aşerme sergilemiştir. Toplam API puanları da önemli ölçüde yükselmiş, öfke artmış ve özgüven azalmıştır. Hapishane geçmişi olanlar arasında kokain kullanımı önemli ölçüde daha yaygınken, şartlı tahliye edilenler arasında kokain kullanımı daha yüksekti.. Sonuç: Bu sonuçlar, yasal statünün bağımlılık şiddeti ve psikolojik belirti örüntüleriyle yakından bağlantılı olduğunu göstermektedir. Bulgular, MKB ile suç davranışı arasında çift yönlü ve çok boyutlu bir ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir; müdahale programları sadece bağımlılık semptomlarına göre değil, aynı zamanda bireyin suç geçmişine ve psikososyal ihtiyaçlarına göre de yapılandırılmalıdır.
