Abstract
At 1 and 3 yr after discharge from a 1 yr inpatient treatment program for chronic, program recidivist alcoholics, 48 and 58%, respectively, were alive, abstinent, employed and in no legal difficulties. Length of actual program involvement correlated positively and significantly with success at follow-up, calling into question conclusions of previous studies that long-term treatment offers no substantial benefit to alcohol addicted individuals.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
