Abstract

The most part of an estimated alcohol dependence syndrome person has only a medical treatment of a complication in primary care medicine in Japan, and only about 5% is related to treatment. Therefore many intoxicated persons go to an emergency hospital, and a staff takes an excessive burden. Cooperation of various organizations is important to the police, fire fighting, polity and a self-help meeting as well as between the medical agencies to link non-healer to treatment. The law which does the health problem measure by alcohol behind schedule compared with foreign countries in 2013 is established, and it' s expected that cooperation will be developed from now on.
