A short-term, intensive (3-4 wk) treatment program for the chronic alcoholic is described. Recent studies suggest a trend toward shorter treatment programs. This condensation of treatment implies taht treatment be reviewed and program philosophy restructured to meet the new time constraints. The treatment modalities of such an intensive program are discussed and early follow-up questionnaire data are presented. Sobriety decreased over time following discharge, employment increased and .gtoreq. 50% of the clients availed themselves of treatment-oriented services following discharge (i.e., Alcoholics Anonymous, group or individual psychotherapy).
