Abstract

Objective: To understand the meaning of detoxification for alcohol-dependent people in a hospital setting. Method: Qualitative
study based on the Grounded Theory methodology. The theoretical sample consisted of 22 participants, including alcohol users admitted to
a psychiatric clinic in the southern region of the state of Santa Catarina, health professionals from the institution and family members of users
under treatment at the clinic. Data was collected in the second half of 2015 through interviews and analyzed using initial and focused codes.
Results: The identified phenomenon is called “Resuming life after alcohol detoxification in a hospital setting”. Conclusion: Detoxification
in a hospital setting provides an opportunity for alcohol-dependent people to resume their lives and reintegrate themselves into society in a
productive way.
