  • Title: [Community short-term therapy of addicts as influenced by the identity of the insurer--the East Bremen example].
    Author: Spengler C.
    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 1984 Jan; 11(1):26-31. PubMed ID: 6709770.
    Abstract:
    Following the agreement on the splitting of the burden of cost to be borne by the Federal German national health and pension insurance schemes, the cost of treatment of addicts has been divided between the relevant bodies. This division of cost has developed into an obstacle especially to the development of curative treatment in community areas close to patients' domiciles. The article analyses the example of the Addicts Department of the Bremen-Ost Central Hospital to demonstrate the partly absurd and illogical sequelae of various cost allocation regulations for the motivation and treatment of addicts.
