Abstract
At 1 and 3 years after discharge from a 1 year inpatient treatment program for chronic, program recidivist alcoholics, 48 and 58%, respectively, were found to be 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.
