Description
Summary:This is a cross-sectional descriptive study aimed at identifying the epidemiological profile of the patients treated at a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and other type III drugs.Data were collected in 2014 from the records of 519 users, using a previously prepared epidemiological form. Most of patients are men attheproductive age; with low schooling and low family income.Most make use of alcohol, have undergone previous treatments in psychiatric hospitals and attended the unit for treatment by influence of third parties, even when it is contemplated. The users of the service are people with serious social and health commitments and although they are increasing use of crack, which is the current concern of public policies, alcohol is still the drug of predilection and represents the gateway to other drugs
