Aims: To assess the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy with acamprosate in alcohol-dependent patients treated in a naturalistic setting in primary care in France.
Methods: The ARES (Acamprosate et Repercussions Economiques et Sociales; Acamprosate and Economic and Social Repercussions) study was performed by 149 general practitioners interested in treating alcohol use disorders in France who included patients fulfilling DSM-IV criteria for alcohol dependence. The only exclusion criteria concerned contra-indications to acamprosate, co-medication with naltrexone and multiple substance abuse.
