Abstract

Addiction is a recurrent and chronic disease and inevitably reduces quality of life. Social support has an important role on the quality of life. Improving the quality of life seems to be one of the main goals during the addiction treatment. For this purpose, it is very important to provide psychosocial support with pharmacological treatment by evaluating the medical, mental and social needs of the dependent patient as a whole.
