On admission to an inpatient alcoholic treatment center, 58 alcoholic men were randomly assigned to two groups. One group was detoxified and after-care services were planned (mean length of stay nine days). The other group, in a-dition to the above, received intensive psychosocial inhospital treatment (mean length of stay 30 days). Posthospital adjustment was measured at five intervals over a 13 month period in the areas of social relationships, financial status, employment record, legal involvement, drinking behavior, use of measures were obtained on psychological change and counseling readiness. No significant difference was found between the two groups on any measure. These results indicate that the hospital has a limited role in the treatment of the alcholic person.
在入住一家住院酒精治疗中心时，58名男性酗酒者被随机分为两组。一组接受了脱毒治疗，并安排了后续护理服务（平均住院时间为九天）。另一组除上述治疗外，还接受了强化的社会心理住院治疗（平均住院时间为30天）。在13个月的时间里，分五个时间段对出院后的适应情况进行了测量，测量内容包括社会关系、财务状况、就业记录、法律问题、饮酒行为等方面。还获取了心理变化和咨询意愿方面的测量数据。两组在任何一项测量指标上均未发现显著差异。这些结果表明，医院在酗酒者的治疗中作用有限。
