Abstract
In the response to homelessness in North America and Europe, alcohol use disorder receives less attention than it should when compared with drugs. This imbalance is likely to reflect the toll of deaths attributable to opioids in North America. However, the current prevalence of alcohol use among homeless people is high, at 38%, compared with an average prevalence of 24% for drug use disorders in this population.1 Unremitting alcohol use contributes to mortality and to poisoning events (ie, overdose).
