title: [Services for prevention, cure and rehabilitation of drug addiction in the Vercelli and Novara provinces].
abstract: The drug addiction prevention and treatment services in the provinces of Vercelli and Novara are examined. The aim of the present work was to study an area in a transitional stage, where agricultural and industrial work and society is changing as are cultural values but where there is sufficient prosperity both to encourage the spread of drug addiction to permit the establishment of appropriate care. The local services for the prevention and cure of drug addiction and the rehabilitation of addicts were set up in 1978. The present work aims to assess the current situation and function of those services.
