An audit of home detoxifications undertaken during a 2-year period in a community drug and alcohol service was performed to explore the impact of suitability criteria on the successful completion of the intervention, and to inform future practice.
A retrospective analysis of home detoxifications was undertaken in a community setting using a designed audit tool.
Of the 154 referrals for home detoxification, 59 commenced detoxification and 95 did not. The absence of a suitable carer and a pre-existing medical-psychiatric condition were the main reasons for home detoxification being deemed an unsuitable intervention. Of those who commenced detoxification, 96.6% completed the programme.
Clear and rigorous screening by an experienced professional before home detoxification is commenced is important to ensure positive treatment outcomes; however, more can be done to improve the service offered and ensure appropriate referrals.
对一家社区毒品和酒精服务机构在两年内进行的家庭戒毒情况进行审核,以探讨适用性标准对干预措施成功完成的影响,并为未来的实践提供参考。
在社区环境中,使用设计好的审核工具对家庭戒毒情况进行回顾性分析。
在154例家庭戒毒转介案例中,59例开始戒毒,95例未开始。缺乏合适的照顾者和既往存在的医学-精神疾病状况是家庭戒毒被视为不合适干预措施的主要原因。在开始戒毒的患者中,96.6%完成了该项目。
在开始家庭戒毒前,由经验丰富的专业人员进行清晰、严格的筛查对于确保积极的治疗效果很重要;然而,仍有更多工作可做,以改善所提供的服务并确保合适的转介。
