[Which indications for inpatient admission of a patient with an addiction? Application of the chronic disorders model. A face validity study].

CONCLUSION: By clarifying addiction as a chronic disease, we were able to determine 14 indications for inpatient admission of a person with an addiction and to distinguish them from the long-term care of addiction. These explicit indications can help the general practitioner or community psychiatrist to better manage patients with addiction on the basis of their expertise with chronic diseases management.
