Objective: to develop, test, and introduce new methods of helping people suffering from alcohol dependence. Material and methods. We have performed a comparative study of a representative sample of patients with alcohol dependence (F 10.202) in compensated (I group, n = 88) and subcompensated (II group, n = 44) remission. Results. It has been found that the highly significant comprehensive examination using clinical, psychological, and laboratory methods (sensitivity - 81.4 %, specificity - 80.0 %) makes it possible to diagnose the threat of relapse in patients with alcohol dependence. Conclusion. The proposed integrated approach to the determination of the quality of remission is a new, effective, simple, and easily accessible way of providing targeted assistance to persons with alcohol dependence.
