Thirty-seven (27 male and 10 female) alcoholics, treated in a brief day program, were assessed on a number of alcohol related and psychosocial variables 15 months following the initial treatment. Thirty percent (30%) remained totally abstinent, another 30% reduced their drinking to less than 10%, and 35% showed a moderate reduction of 10 to 50% in their pre-treatment drinking. Significant reduction was reported by these patients in their utilization of health services for purposes of detoxification, psychiatric treatment, visits to the family physician, and emergency department. Improvement was also reported on employment status, legal problems, general emotional state and some symptoms suggestive of depression. These findings are discussed in the light of the viability of cost effective day treatment programs for alcoholism within the context of general hospital psychiatric services.
37名（27名男性和10名女性）酒精成瘾者在一个简短的日间项目中接受治疗，在初始治疗15个月后，对他们进行了一系列与酒精相关及社会心理变量的评估。30%的人完全戒酒，另外30%将饮酒量减少到不足10%，35%的人治疗前饮酒量适度减少了10%至50%。这些患者报告称，他们在用于戒毒、精神科治疗、看家庭医生及急诊的医疗服务使用方面有显著减少。在就业状况、法律问题、总体情绪状态以及一些提示抑郁的症状方面也有改善。结合综合医院精神科服务背景下酒精成瘾成本效益高的日间治疗项目的可行性，对这些发现进行了讨论。
