“…This finding has since been replicated by other researchers, providing evidence that "dihydrocodeine is a viable alternative to methadone as a maintenance treatment for opiate dependency" [34]. In a similar vein, maintenance DHC therapy may also be used to treat patients with severe alcoholism [35].…”

Hermann Goering, one of the most prominent members of the Nazi Party and for many years the presumed heir to Adolf Hitler, had a well-known history of morphine addiction. By the last days of the Second World War, he was widely considered by his contemporaries to have been completely incapacitated by his addiction. In this article, we argue that Goering's addiction, while possibly present, was purposefully exaggerated by his rivals for political purposes. His habit of ingesting paracodeine pills may have been a crude form of opioid maintenance therapy, similar to that of methadone today. Ultimately, his history of substance abuse had no significant impact on his capacity, ruthlessness, and leading role in Nazi crimes.

“…Von meinen diagnostizierten HIV-Patient: innen sind fast 100 %, fraglos übereinstimmend mit verfügbaren Leitlinien, in einer kontinuierlichen, medikamentösen Behandlung [2], und nur darum geht es ihnen ähnlich gut wie Gesunden. Wenn wir Alkoholabhängige gewissenhaft nach den Regeln einer chronischen Krankheit behandeln, können wir das auch bei ihnen erleben [3,4].…”

Leitlinien als Dokumente des aktuellen Wissensstands sollen der Praxis Orientierung geben. In aller Regel fährt man gut damit, sich streng daran zu halten – je spezialisierter man ist, desto mehr. Man kann dann davon ausgehen, die Patient:innen bestmöglich zu behandeln. Es ergeben sich keine wesentlichen Diskrepanzen zu den eigenen Beobachtungen. Die neue S3-Leitlinie zu alkoholbezogenen Störungen irritiert aber wieder genau in diesem Punkt. Wichtigste, in der Praxis ständig präsente Gesichtspunkte finden sich nicht in ihr, z.B. die chronische Behandlungsbedürftigkeit und der dringende Bedarf an gut wirksamen Medikamenten. Dass es in der Praxis längst Erfahrungen dazu mit Hinweisen auf viel bessere Ergebnisse gibt, wird nicht wahrgenommen. Ist die Leitlinie neben allem Fortschritt erneut ein Dokument schwerer Defizite, bei denen es im Interesse derer, die damit furchtbare Probleme haben, nicht bleiben darf?

Alcohol abuse is one of the most important risk factors for health and is a major cause of death and morbidity. Despite this, only about one-tenth of individuals with alcohol abuse disorders receive therapeutic intervention and specific rehabilitation. Among the various dichotomies that limit an effective approach to the problem of alcohol use disorder treatment, one of the most prominent is integrated treatment versus harm reduction. For years, these two divergent strategies have been considered to be opposite poles of different philosophies of intervention. One is bound to the search for methods that aim to lead the subject to complete abstinence; the other prioritizes a progressive decline in substance use, with maximum reduction in the damage that is correlated with curtailing that use. Reduction of alcohol intake does not require any particular setting, but does require close collaboration between the general practitioner, specialized services for addiction, alcohology services and psychiatry. In patients who reach that target, significant savings in terms of health and social costs can be achieved. Harm reduction is a desirable target, even from an economic point of view. At the present state of neuroscientific knowledge, it is possible to go one step further in the logic that led to the integration of psychosocial and pharmacological approaches, by attempting to remove the shadows of social judgment that, at present, are aiming for a course of treatment that is directed towards absolute abstention.
