%X The phenomenon of co-addiction is a social and individual problem of the person affected. Most scientific publications and research refer to the problem of addiction, addicted person and therapy of a person who has an addiction. A deficiency is visible in studies related to co-addicts. The importance of social harmfulness of this issue is often diminished or even overlooked, which can be interpreted as underestimating the effects of co-addicted people, as well as neglecting women - partners, fiancés or wives of alcoholics in the family-oriented help process with the problem of alcohol dependence. An important assumption of this article was to develop a co-dependent profile based on a qualitative and quantitative analysis of data collected in the research process, to propose modifications to be made to the aid system in order to streamline the processes under which programs for getting out of codependency are subject.
