title: [Liaison programs in drug abuse-AIDS].
abstract: AIDS has acquired a growing importance for psychiatry because of the number of infected people and the increasing attention that these patients need. The major risk group in Spain is the drug users one. These patients share management problems when they are in general hospitals settings, both for their psychiatric aspects and for the consequences of drug abusing. A consultation liaison psychiatry service system improves the attention to these patients and reduces the emergency interventions and the hostility against the staff. The consultation liaison psychiatry system has generated an overall improvement in our hospital to fulfil the patients need and the relations and atmosphere among the therapeutic team.
