The article acquaints with the means of dramatherapeutic intervention in two addictions departments - the Centre for secondary prevention and addiction treatment at the Military Hospital in Olomouc and the toxicorehabilitation department at the Psychiatric Hospital in Kromeriz. The first department runs a detoxification and short-term (one month) intervention programme while in Mandala, a medium-term (as long as half a year) dramatherapeutic programme is being implemented. The second part of the text presents the results of an enquiry focused on tracing the differences (connections) between the clients' perception of benefits and overall concept of the dramatherapeutic intervention at the above said departments. The implementation of a questionnaire method did not reveal differences between evaluations of the clients of both departments.
