Abstract

This paper aims at reporting the experience of health education in an Family Health Strategy, targeted to people with alcohol dependence and their families, through the strategy of support group. During group meetings there was exchange of experience among alcoholics and their families. Fifteen people attended assiduously the meetings, of which seven were alcoholics. Through their participation in the group, there was a reduction in alcohol consumption and alcohol abstinence for some period, as well as the health-seeking behavior. Thus the creation of this group proved to be effective and consistent with the implementation of the new paradigm of health care.
