The Centers of Psychosocial Attention - Alcohol and Drugs are health units designed to attend free of charge those who need to treat alcoholism. Follow-up is done through doctors, psychologists, and therapists. There is also the openness to family participation. When the alcoholic lives in a city that does not have CAPS - AD, you can seek a traditional CAPS (mental health care) or a basic health unit in your county for treatment.

If there is a need for hospitalization, it is the CAPS itself that makes the request and forwards the patient to one of the associated institutions. For more information, visit the site.
