[Guideline-oriented treatment of alcohol-related disorders].

This article summarizes the recommendations pertinent for psychiatrists and include early detection and intervention, acute withdrawal and long-term psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Classical and new treatment goals are discussed. If the new guidelines were properly applied an increase in patients receiving treatment to 30-40 % could be expected, which would improve the quality of lives of affected persons and their families and in Germany would save several thousand lives per year.
