Outcomes from primary care management of alcohol dependence in France
Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2009, Pages 457-462


In this French sample, management by the general practitioners appears to be a positive predictor of outcome in alcohol dependence. Future research could (a) enlighten the relationship between detoxification and frequency or circumstances of the visits and (b) tell whether formal planned follow-up by general practice physicians could improve outcome in alcohol dependence.
