Abstract

This paper is outlining the valuable work that has been completed in primary care for patients who have dependent patterns around alcohol use. Due to the economic climate of austerity alcohol and drug services have had to endure large financial cuts and this has led to some service provision being dis-continued or at best streamlined. This paper asks that nurse-led detoxifications are important for patients to access in primary care. If there is streamlining it needs to be conducted where the best parts of a service are kept. Alcohol detoxifications in primary care are such a service.Conclusion: There are personal and organizational factors that are influencing the nurse’s work motivation in Jeddah, which should be met and considered by nursing management.
