1. Purpose, Aims, and Potential Effects

1.1. Purpose of the IBiZ-CIntED Project

The purpose of the IBiZ-CIntED Project is to give young people with addictive disorder a chance for integration into society through clinically informed, evidence based educational intervention.

5. Summary

Therapeutical institutions discharge patients with short term psychological stability but without the additional necessary qualifications for professional work.

Relapses result - as in revolving doors - as long as addicted people are not qualified equivalent to their talents. They show the ineffectiveness of therapeutical processes without further maturation and additional education.

The IBiZ-CIntED project has been planned to fill this important gap.

The IBiZ-CIntED project has developed an integrated new approach to overcome addiction related handicaps after cure and therapy by using effective and scientifically tried and tested educational measures which are generally neglected in formal school education.

The IBiZ-CIntED project is based on a combination of highly effective creativity training, learning of craftsmanship and formal education.
The size of the working groups is equivalent to that in therapeutical settings.
Regular practical training sessions in business and crafts are part of the curriculum.
The students become a responsible part of the overall pattern.

The IBiZ-CIntED project was verbally supported by ministers and ministries of the Free State of Bavaria, by the Committee of Education (Bildungsausschuß) and the Committee for Social Affairs (Sozialaus-schuß) of the Bavarian Parliament, by the representatives for drug affairs of the District Administration of Upper Bavaria and of the city of Munich as well as by most Bavarian drug therapy institutions.

The IBiZ-CIntED project development was financed from 4/2000 to 3/2002 by

The Bavarian Ministry of Education accepts the necessity of such an institution but is not willing to finance it as a school, since it differs from state schools, which eject addicted ill youths into their disabilities without qualifying them according to their talents.

The Bavarian Ministry of Education offered an insufficient amount of European Funds (ESF). The result was that the city of Munich did not accept the main financial burden, arguing that it funds the living expenses of the IBiZ-CIntED students in any case.

As soon as the project is basically funded both the District Administration of Upper Bavaria and the Employment Exchange Munich will attribute to the budget.
So will the above named foundations.
Two social workers are budgeted in the District Administration of Upper Bavaria for the fiscal year 2002.
