This retrospective and descriptive study aimed to describe the profile of patients with comorbidity who receive care at the "Programa de Atendimento ao Alcoolista" of "Hospital Universitário Cassiano Antônio Moraes" from "Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo" (PAA-HUCAM-UFES). Most patients are male and were between 35 and 54 years of age. The occurrence of clinical disorders was the most frequent, followed by psychiatric and social disorders. It is very important to know the profile of a population, as thus it is possible to suggest and plan actions for a better care.
