Os tratamentos mais frequentes para o alcoolismo no Brasil: uma revisão sistemática

Abstract

Alcohol use in Brazil has been shown to be a major public health problem, being associated with several problems. Thus, effective treatments are required to cope with this demand. To reflect on the scientific productions in this area in Brazil, this article aimed to present a systematic review contemplate the national literature, considering the period from 2009 to 2018. The descriptors “alcoholism”, “treatment” and “Brazil” were used”, which are on the DECS list, and the review was carried out in the databases of national scientific publications SciELO and BVS. It was found that the most used treatment strategies were through multiprofessional teams, and that the majority of the approached treatments were implemented through the abstinence logic, which allows us to conclude that harm reduction has not yet gained its proper place in treatment strategies in Brazil. The amount of studies on the subject was not significant, and further studies are needed to deepen the knowledge in the area.
