In France, between 10% and 30% of emergency room admissions are linked to problematic alcohol consumption. This considerable weight of alcohol-related problems in the current problematic of emergencies is largely unknown and can lead to blockages in emergencies.~For acute intoxication requiring emergency care, 80% of admissions concern people dependent on alcohol. Here again, this crucial clinical notion is largely ignored: when a patient in a state of intoxication arrives in the emergency room, this should not be considered as a banal and one-off event, it is necessary to put in place a care, if necessary, of addiction.~Supported by a call for projects from the Hauts-de-France Regional Health Agency, the Addictions Service of the Arras Hospital is setting up a monitoring system called APIVIGIE.~APIVIGIE program is offered to patients who present to the emergency room for a diagnosis of API after an evaluation by the liaison team of the addiction service. If the patient agrees to be part of the program, he will receive a resource card with the APIVIGIE phone number to contact if necessary.~The link will be maintained with the Addictology Care, Support and Prevention Center (CSAPA) for a period of 6 months, by telephone consultations, or by video-consultations or face-to-face consultations.
The study was designed to evaluate the APIVIGIE program use at CH d'Arras. The objective of this program is to reduce repeated visits by the same patient to the emergency room for Alcoholism Severe Paroxysmal
