Italy says health service covers behavioural and substance addictions
Italy’s health ministry clarified last August that the national health service covers behavioural and substance addictions, deputy undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano said at a government meeting on addiction. Mantovano said services should ensure consistent care nationwide for young people and adults with behavioural addictions.
The clarification affects how health services address behavioural addictions, including gambling-related problems.
