title: [Guidelines for the treatment of alcoholism].
abstract: Alcoholism is a chronic disorder that results from genetic, psychosocial and environmental factors. General practitioners who provide continuous care can have a major role in the follow-up of patients with alcohol-related problems, by providing screening and assessment, patient education and referral to a specialist if indicated. Treatment of alcohol-dependence now benefits from clear guidelines. The authors summarize the latest data in this field.
