“…Er polemisierte trotzdem gegen Polypharmazie i. S. einer unüber− legten voreiligen und beliebigen KT. Aktuelle Leitlinienempfeh− lungen verschiedener psychiatrischer Fachgesellschaften stim− men erstaunlich wenig überein [35,36], positiv ausgedrückt, Therapie in der Psychiatrie kann immer noch als ärztliche Kunst angesehen werden [37].

“…For substance abuse treatment, almost no evidence-based guidelines have been developed yet in Belgium [29] . However, it is debatable whether each national organization in Europe needs to produce its own guidelines, since the evidence underlying guideline recommendations is usually of an international nature [33] . This means the adaptation of existing evidence-based guidelines and/or the development of shareable guidelines at a European level is also an option [33] .…”

Background/Aim: Evidence-based guidelines for substance abuse treatment are available in many European countries. In Belgium, no such guidelines have been developed yet at a national level although their need has repeatedly been emphasized. This study aims to assess Belgian practitioners’ attitudes concerning evidence-based guidelines for substance abuse treatment. Methods: A survey was conducted with clinical coordinators in a representative sample of 60 agencies dispensing specialized treatment to alcohol and drug abusers. Results: The study revealed that evidence-based guidelines are rarely used in substance abuse treatment in Belgium, but that many agencies use self-developed guidelines. The attitude concerning evidence-based guidelines is mainly positive. Practitioners’ concerns mostly relate to the risk of disregarding their clients’ needs and the constraining character of using evidence-based guidelines. The study also reveals some barriers concerning the implementation of evidence-based guidelines and suggests some strategies to overcome them. Conclusion: Practitioners appear to be prepared to work with evidence-based guidelines. When developing, adapting and implementing evidence-based guidelines for substance abuse treatment, it is important for policy makers to take into account the state of the art in clinical practice as well as practitioners’ needs and requirements.

“…It is also important to be able to compare the result with others made using the same tool. Several evaluations of practice guidelines, some in the field of occupational health, have been carried out [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] . The purpose of this study is to assess the quality of the occupational medicine practice guidelines of FIOH.…”
