Treatment of alcoholism by SUS
The treatment of alcoholism by SUS can be done by:- CAPS - Center for Psychosocial Attention: Government institutions, spread throughout several cities of the country.
- NASF - Support Centers for Family Health: Formed by a group of health professionals who assist the Family Health teams in providing care to the dependents.
- Street Offices: mobile teams made up of a social worker, nursing assistant and doctors who act where drug users gather.
- CAT - Transitional Shelter Houses: They welcome the dependent during the clinical stabilization process, with pedagogical activities.
The treatment for alcoholism can also be done through the A.A. - Alcoholics Anonymous, which although not linked to SUS, offers free treatment for addicts. Although the alcoholic can not stay in these places 24 hours a day, he can attend meetings daily and find support to overcome the addiction.
If you have any doubts, you can call the number 132 (viva voz), which is a free telephone answering service, exclusive to provide information about any type of drug and its effects in the body, besides guiding in the search of places for treatment. Through the number 132, any citizen with doubts will be taken care of 24 hours a day, all days of the week, including holidays.
Clinics for treatment of alcoholism
Alcoholism clinics can work full-time or part-time. Each clinic has its own treatment regimen that often includes the health professionals (physicians, psychologists, occupational therapists, nurses and physical education teachers) as the family since most alcohol dependents are from families with social or emotional imbalances.Treatment for alcoholism should last an average of 6 months for physical detoxification, but treatment success is considered achieved 5 years after completion of treatment with complete abstinence and complete control over alcohol. However, it is always important to avoid the first sip throughout life, as there will always be a chance of relapse.
