AB The paper describes the functioning of an organization in London called Build on Belief (BoB), which, in a unique way, provides treatment to persons with substance addiction. This facility is special for its management, because the services are run by people who had gone through addiction and now abstain. The second distinctive feature of the organization is the attitude to clients. The person is always in the first place, only then a addiction problems come. There are no such organizations in the Czech Republic; the only equivalent in terms of services is the Kontaktni centrum (K-centrum). This paper is based on materials gathered during a two-month work placement in the BoB facility organized in cooperation with the Institute of Special Education Studies, Faculty of Education, Palacky University in Olomouc. The participants in the work placement analysed the BoB facility and made theoretical as well as practical conclusions in order to enrich the Czech practical environment.
