title: [Community-based psychiatric treatment of patients with alcohol and substance related disorders -- a new concept].
abstract: The aim of this paper is to outline a future community-based treatment system for persons with alcohol- and substance-related disorders. Current knowledge about epidemiology and treatment outcome will be presented, followed by a description of a network of treatment and support facilities, focusing at treatment possibilities currently not sufficiently supported by the public, especially community-based outpatient treatment for socially well integrated persons and offerings for comorbid or multiple disabled substance-dependent patients.
