Publisher:

London: National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, 2011. 654p., bibliog.

Abstract:

This guideline is one of three pieces of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence‘s (NICE) guidance developed to advise on alcohol-use disorders. The present guideline addresses the management of alcohol dependence and harmful alcohol use in people aged 10 years and older including: assessment, pharmacological interventions, psychological and psychosocial interventions, and settings of assisted withdrawal and rehabilitation. The guideline recommendations have been developed by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, as well as lay member, service user and carer representatives, and guideline methodologists, after careful consideration of the best available evidence. It is intended that the guideline will be useful to clinicians and service commissioners in providing and planning high-quality care for people who misuse alcohol while also emphasising the importance of the experience of care for them and their carers.
