Drug-related dreams (DD) are dreams experienced by addicted individuals during withdrawal or recovery processes, containing various content related to substance use. Nowadays, it has been suggested that drug-related dreams have a two-way prognostic value, positively and negatively influencing individuals' desires for substance use. While DDs are routinely implemented as a relapse prevention strategy in some addiction clinics abroad, the clinical significance of such dreams has not been sufficiently recognized in our country yet. This editorial aims to provide definitions of these types of dreams and offer practical recommendations for implementation in addiction clinics in our country, which could be significant.

Bağımlılık Tedavisinde Relaps Önleme Çalışmalarında Önemli Bir Alan: Madde Bağlantılı Rüyalar

Öz

Madde bağlantılı rüyalar (MBR), bağımlı bireylerin yoksunluk veya iyileşme sürecinde görülen, maddeyle ilişkili çeşitli içerikler barındıran rüyalardır. Günümüzde madde bağlantılı rüyaların, kişilerin madde kullanım arzularına yönelik olumlu ve olumsuz bir biçimde etki eden,iki yönlü prognostik değerinin olduğu belirtilmiştir. Yurtdışında kimi bağımlılık kliniklerinde MBR ,bir relaps önleme stratejisi olarak rutin olarak uygulanmakta iken henüz ülkemizde bu tür rüyaların klinik önemi yeterince fark edilmiş değildir. Bu editöryel yazıda bu tür rüyaların tanımları yapılıp, ülkemizde bağımlılık kliniklerinde önemli olabilecek uygulama önerileri sunulmuştur.
