[When the psychotic person is an alcoholic: working on acceptance]

Abstract:
Alcohol dependence in a person with psychosis is a complex question. Paradoxically, by trying to stay alive, the person places themselves in serious danger, without consideration for their body or their life. Withdrawal could have worse effects than the continuation of alcohol use. The support within a French service for the medical-social support of mentally disabled adults (SAMSAH) therefore involves going not towards the change that we want for the person, but towards acceptance of what they are, in order to open up the future.
