Alcohol dependence is a chronic and recurrent brain disease of central nervous system poisoning caused by long-term excessive drinking. The prevalence of alcohol-dependence patients in China shows a rising trend year by year. Alcohol dependence will not only cause serious harm to patients’ physical health and mental state, but also affect their family relations and even entire social security. The study evaluated the improvement of psychological intervention measures on alcohol-dependent people’s rehydration in the context of the Great Thought Policy to help them better reduce alcohol dependence.
The study selected 200 patients with alcohol dependence admitted to a provincial hospital. The patients were divided into an experimental group and a control group by the random number table method. Both groups were treated with the same drug intervention. Among them, the patients in the experimental group were treated under active psychotherapy, that is, the responsible nurse combined psychological knowledge with ideological guidance to guide the patients to quit drinking. The control group was given routine psychological intervention. The patients were investigated with Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and telephone follow-up. The data were processed with SPSS 17.0 statistical software, and P < 0.05 indicated that the difference was statistically significant.
Results showed that the rehydration rate and rehospitalization rate of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group, and the mental health status of the patients in the experimental group was significantly improved compared with the control group (P < 0.05), indicating that the psychological measures under the ideological and political intervention can effectively control the patients’ emotions.Table 1.

The experimental results show that the combination of ideological guidance and positive psychological knowledge, and the guidance and intervention of patients can effectively reduce their alcohol relapse, improve the level of mental health, and achieve the effect of successful abstinence.
