Abstract

 Background: Alcoholism is now considered a disease affecting physical, mental, social and spiritual domains of health. With the severity of alcohol dependency rates more care of such patients becomes the priority, as well as educating the low and moderate dependent alcoholics to avoid falling prey to life threatening complications. Objectives:To assess the levels of alcohol dependence and to seek association between alcohol dependence and selected demographic variables like age, marital status and educational status. Methodology: The survey was conducted at a drug de-addiction centre  in  Delhi. 30 patients admitted in the de-addiction centre were selected through purposive sampling technique.  Those clients taking alcohol primarily were included in the sample. The alcoholic patients were interviewed by administering a standardized questionnaire that is Short Alcohol Dependence Data Questionnaire (SADD). The questionnaire was administered in the interview room. Results: The study findings revealed that a little over half of the alcoholic patients experienced high alcoholic dependence rate i.e. 50.33% and there was no significant relationship found between alcohol dependence and the selected factors like age, marital status and educational status. Several kinds of therapeutic approaches show promises as a basis for a new  generation of ambulatory  treatments. The most significant contribution of this survey is the focus it provides for the direction of future research and preventive efforts.
