Emergency care carried out during the pandemic due to substance abuse in a Spanish province

CONCLUSIONS: Substance use disorder consultations increased in the first state of emergency, with patients being younger and attending for reasons related to outpatient discontinuity, while in the second state of emergency, alcohol use increased in people without prior follow-up and with small social networks. Admissions in the first state of emergency were shorter, with no subsequent link to other detoxification treatment centers and with an earlier return to the emergency room, especially in female users.PMID:36975070 | DOI:10.20882/adicciones.1819
