Alcoholism and other addictions represent a huge problem, influenced with many kinds of factors, not only in the area of social psychiatry and medicine, but also in wider social community. Therefore, the vision of the society, in which health and social prosperity would be constantly promoted and alcoholism and other addictions prevented or significantly reduced, remains our constant task. However, it is not enough only to give the general views, but it is also necessary to determine the precise goals for preventing and controlling alcoholism and other addictions, such that we can achieve through the governmental, non governmental and private sector, in the area of national and international cooperation. The scientific research of alcohol and drug addiction in the world is progressing very fast and it is necessary for the personnel who work in that area to be familiar with the newest results and achievements and to do the research in that area themselves, with respect to our specific circumstances. The time has come to stop the amateur struggle against alcohol, drugs and other addictions and leave the health and social protection in that area to the educated professional personnel and organized services. Only the expert and the continuous work can contribute to achieve the society aimed at strengthening the fight against the harmful effects of addiction on individuals, their families and the wider social community. To achieve that, we have proposes the precise programs for basic areas of alcohology and other addictions, and for those areas where the level of consequences is significant or the services available for their solving are inadequate. These goals can be achieved only if a good general and clinical practice is used from adequate resources, made specifically for them. The proposals must be based on wide consultations with specialists from many areas and must reflect a realistic evaluation of the situation, taking full responsibility concerning the attitudes and the priorities. For all of that, the collective awareness and the past experiences, make it easier to start and develop the complete programs for this area and for the area of national and international cooperation. |
