Services integration and cost-effectiveness

Alcohol Clin Exp Res. 2003 Feb;27(2):271-80. doi: 10.1097/01.ALC.0000052707.99429.8C.

Abstract

Alcohol treatment services are increasingly combined with other health and social services to address the needs of multiple-problem clients. Hence, it has been of growing policy interest to find the most effective and the most cost-effective ways of linking these services. This symposium presents some recent studies in this area. The small but growing body of studies in this area has great potential to inform public policy debates.
