Aimof this study was to present data on addicts with the imposed protective measure of compulsory treatment of addition that were sent to the Institute for Addiction Diseases for the period 2014-2020. The study compares artsof law violation, art of addiction as well as duration of the protective measure of compulsory treatment.Out of 61 patients, 59 (96 %) were males and 2 (4%) females. The only reason for compulsory treatment for all of them was domestic violence. Out of 61 patients 41 (67%) underwent compulsory treatment due to use of psycho-active compounds (PAS) and 20 (33%) due to use of alcohol. Incidence of alcohol or PAS was statistically significant higher in males than in females (19 vs 1, p<0.001; 40 vs 1, p<0.001, respectively). Duration of the treatment was significantly longer in patients who used PAS than in those who used alcohol (10.29 vs 7.4 months; p<0.05). There was not statistically difference between duration ofthe treatment in males and females (9.36 vs 9.00 months; p>0.05). Incidence of the compulsory measures was significantly higher in 2018, 2019 and 2020 than in 2014, 2015 and 2016 (p<0.001). In all analyzed years, except 2015, incidence of the mandatory measureswas significantly higher in patients who misused PAS than who misused alcohol. The most common difficulties are:lowmotivational capacity,inadequate way of thinking, inadequateway of behaving with the adoption of new models and, ultimately, inadequate independent functioning. Keywords: addiction, compulsory treatment, violation of the law, criminal behaviour.

Pathological gambling and alcoholism are addictions with many common characteristics. Unfortunately, this suggests that a person who is prone to developing an addiction very often develops another addiction, or addictive behavior, over time. In this way, a person with a gambling problem can very often develop an addiction to alcohol, just as an alcoholic can develop a pathological gambling problem over time. Factors influencing the development of addiction, alcoholism in gamblers or gambling in alcoholics, are not only characteristics of an individual prone to addiction, but also external, social factors; gambling sites most often include bars while many bars have gambling machines. In this case report, we present one such example, through all stages of its development to treatment, and this includes diagnosis, treatment and post-hospital follow-up. The treatment for these addictions differs, because alcoholism also requires detoxification. However, when realistic and achievable goals are set, as well as triggers identified and the person's awareness is enhanced, alongside educating and engagement of the individual through functional and adequate behaviors, treatment can be very successful. The probability of relapse exists in both forms of addiction, however, it increases significantly if a person has both addictions.

UNLABELLED Adolescence is a special period in human development which takes place between childhood and adulthood. In order to enter the world of adults the adolescent negates authorities, reject existing norms of behavior and wants to prove itself. Characteristic is withdrawal in themselves, experimenting with cigarettes, alcohol and psychoactive substances. Excessive use of alcohol among young has results in several psychological aspects, among which most often are: challenge, escape and satisfaction. These are the problems that many young people cannot overcome, so in early thirties we have a population of alcohol addicts (to develop alcoholism 10-15 years is necessary), with increased number of hospitalizations, families that suffer, problems for whole society. Goal of this paper is to point to the problem of alcohol use among young people, movement of age limit for the first use, minor difference in use between adolescents: delinquents--prisoners of prison in Zenica and graduate students from the High technical school in Sarajevo. MATERIAL AND METHODS Beside study on two groups of adolescents-delinquents and students, material used for this research also includes and represents evaluation data of the Department for Alcohols and Day Hospital during 2006. This research is epidemiological, retrospective, analytical-descriptive, based on analysis of relevant variables. Research results indicate that from the baseline of 60 adolescents in two "different" groups there is a minor difference in alcohol use, in group of delinquents 46.7% and among students 36.7% use drink alcohol beverages, but the father of every second delinquent is addicted to alcohol, while among students 3% fathers drink. From the total number of patients treated at the Day Hospital of the Department for Alcoholism during one year (total of 106 patients), 7% are addicts younger than 35 years, with tendency of increase in number of patients and younger age even down to 30 years.
