Abstract

Drinking has caused serious damage to human beings and society as a whole, becoming a major public health problem, requiring politics intervention, particularly within Primary Attention. The present study aims to identify actions in the literature to treatment alcoholics in Primary Care. This study was motivated by the negligence with which alcohol dependence is treated in the city and is often ignored as a public health problem and is considered normal and ordinary. Using the method of literature review, it identifies several proposals for facing the alcoholism and related disorders of alcohol, found in several studies. Based on these studies it is possible to devise an action strategy for the city of São Thomé das Letras, which has no alcoholic service, nor care for Mental Health. Because of the fact of alcoholism be a multifactorial problem, we need to integrate the various sectors of the city, seeking a joint action between the Health, Social Assistence, Sports, Culture, Education, among others, to deploy and maintain a truly effective program, which acts to promote health, prevention of injuries, damage repair and reintegration into society of alcohol dependence, promoting a better quality of life of patients and their family.
