These guidelines are intended to be read by those involved in providing psychosocially assisted pharmacological treatments at any level. The readership falls into three broad groups:
policy makers and administrators who make decisions on the availability of medicines and the structure and funding of services in countries or in subnational health administrative regions
managers and clinical leaders responsible for the organization of specific health-care services, and for the clinical care those services provide
health-care workers treating patients within the health-care system.
