[How to provide meaningful primary care to patients with an addiction?] / Wat is zinvolle eerstelijnszorg aan verslaafde patiënten?

ABSTRACT

Offering meaningful care to patients with an addiction is not always easy. This also holds true for general physicians. In this article we provide a legal and practical framework for general physicians on how to provide meaningful care for this group of patients. Various interventions are described. In case meaningful care does not seem to be an option, then the general physician has to draw his conclusions.
