Alcohol is responsible for 2.5 million deaths annually and is a risk factor in certain communicable diseases. The negative of its consumption can be felt in all areas of life. The object of this descriptive study was to determine the social, health and consumption characteristics and the perceptions of rehabilitation treatment in alcoholics. The information was collected using a questionnaire for the social and health variables and a semi-structured interview to determine perceptions of treatment. The majority were male, middle class and had begun consuming alcohol at 11 years of age, with depression being the most common psychological comorbidity. They perceived treatment as welfare.
