Objective. To study the dynamics of different indicators of addiction in a student population over the last decade (2002-2012), to find the factors predicting addiction and to develop recommendations for the correction of rehabilitative programs. Material and methods. Authors examined 578 students of different faculties in 2002 and 568 students in 2012. Patients were stratified by a pattern of addictive behaviour. In addition, it was used psychological method and self-rated stress response as well as the causes of alcoholism and drug addiction. Results. A comparison of the results for 2002 and 2012 demonstrated the increase in percent of drug addiction compared to alcoholism, the increase in the number of women with drug addiction, but not with alcoholism, significant changes in motivation of using alcohol and drugs and comorbidity with anxiety, depression and stress reactivity. Conclusion. The results indicate the necessity of the renovation of rehabilitation programs.
