Management of Dependence on Alcohol - 2nd of Two Articles
Year: 2009
Type: article
Abstract: Rehabilitation treatments are psychosocial consisting of individual and group therapies, residential treatment in alcohol–free settings and self-help groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)3. To the best of my knowledge there are no rehabilitation arrangements for treating alcohol dependence in the Southern Sudan, let alone selfhelp groups such as AA. All patients should be carefully screened with a validated instrument such as the CAGE questionnaire for alcohol dependence – see Box 1. This questionnaire is brief and was designed to detect alcohol dependence.
