Abstract
The results of the first 9 months of the implementation of a three-stage treatment programme for alcohol dependence are presented. Preparation groups (PGs) can be the main treatment option during this stage of the programme for almost all clients and Relapse Prevention groups, immediately after detoxification, for up to 75% of clients. Those participating in the PGs are doing significantly better as far as detoxification completion, 1 and 3 months post detoxification abstinence is concerned.
