ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Alcohol consumption in Germany is associated with considerable health and economic consequences. In addition to prevention, the early detection and differential treatment of those affected play an important role. The guideline "Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorders" forms the basis of this care for people suffering from alcohol use disorders. Regular updates integrate the current state of research evidence and clinical expertise. METHODS: Under the auspices of the German Society for Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics, and Neurology and the German Society for Addiction Research and Addiction Therapy e.V. (DG-Sucht), the 2019-2020 S3 guideline on alcohol was revised by eight working groups. Thirty-five professional societies participated in a structured consensus process to deliberate the recommendations. Potential conflicts of interest were examined in advance, documented, and taken into account during the voting on the recommendations. RESULTS: The guideline provides recommendations on screening and brief interventions for different groups of people, as well as on treatment of individuals in the acute and post-acute phases of withdrawal. Special emphasis was placed on the treatment of comorbid somatic and psychological disorders. In addition, recommendations for specific groups of people (e.g., children and adolescents, pregnant women) have been made and adapted to the German care landscape.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Patients from opioid maintenance treatment (OMT) may taper off from opioids during rehab treatment. It is investigated whether this option improves treatment outcomes in particular for those patients who are affected by psychiatric or somatic comorbidity, or by social problems. METHODS: Multicenter study with 4 rehab units. Patient characteristics and treatment outcomes were collected retrospectively. There were n = 227 patients who were admitted to treatment while still receiving OMT, and n = 156 who were opioid free. RESULTS: With regard to regular completion of rehab treatment, an interaction was observed between status at admission and diagnosis of affective, neurotic and anxiety disorders, and between status and previous rehab treatment experience. If admitted in an abstinent status, patients who had never entered rehab, and patients with affective or anxiety disorders showed decreased regular completion rates, while they showed increased completion rates if tapered off during treatment. There was no interaction between initial status and acute life crisis (release from prison, homelessness), somatic diagnoses, or number of stabilizing social factors. CONCLUSION: Admission while still receiving opiate maintenance could be helpful for patients with psychiatric comorbidity and for patients who had previously been reluctant to enter rehab treatment.
