Outpatient treatment based on the "Minnesota Model" as one alternative for alcoholics arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) was examined. DWI arrestees (N = 543) who were court referred for chemical abuse treatment were compared with 827 non-DWI and non-court-referred patients in the same outpatient treatment programs. Results indicate that DWI arrestees tended to be younger and unmarried but were more likely to complete treatment. Their drinking was characterized more as an episode use in a social context with less solitary use, continuous use or use as a response to negative feelings. Although the DWI patients in this study were all alcoholics, as a group they appear to represent a generally less advanced stage of alcoholism than the non-DWI sample. Posttreatment follow-up measures at 6 months on subsamples of the patients demonstrated improvement for both DWI and non-DWI patients in virtually all areas assessed. Few outcome differences between DWI and non-DWI groups were found. The results indicate that outpatient substance abuse treatment may be a viable and vital component in any integrated policy on drunken driving.
研究了基于“明尼苏达模式”的门诊治疗，将其作为对因醉酒驾车（DWI）被捕的酗酒者的一种治疗选择。将因法庭转介接受药物滥用治疗的DWI被捕者（N = 543）与同一门诊治疗项目中的827名非DWI且未经法庭转介的患者进行了比较。结果表明，DWI被捕者往往更年轻且未婚，但更有可能完成治疗。他们的饮酒更多地表现为在社交场合中的偶尔饮酒，较少有独自饮酒、持续饮酒或作为对负面情绪的反应而饮酒的情况。尽管本研究中的DWI患者都是酗酒者，但作为一个群体，他们似乎比非DWI样本代表了酗酒程度总体较低的阶段。对患者子样本进行的6个月治疗后随访测量表明，DWI和非DWI患者在几乎所有评估领域都有改善。DWI组和非DWI组之间几乎没有发现结果差异。结果表明，门诊药物滥用治疗可能是任何醉酒驾驶综合政策中可行且重要的组成部分。
