本研究旨在探讨“标准”门诊酒精中毒治疗（ST）计划的有效性。在美国通常采用的门诊酒精中毒治疗（采用团体和个体治疗，并强调匿名酗酒者[AA]）与最小治疗（MT）方法（每周酒精教育电影）进行了比较。在6个月时，ST患者在完全戒酒、饮酒量减少、随访时清醒时间、就业状况改善、参加AA会议次数和初始脱落率降低方面超过MT患者。它的结论是ST的方法是更有帮助的MT在治疗严重酒精依赖的个人谁也不能减少自己的饮酒。那些已经喝得少的人似乎得到了MT的帮助。(C)2002年爱思唯尔科技有限公司All rights reserved.
This study sought to examine the effectiveness of a "standard" outpatient alcoholism treatment (ST) program. An outpatient alcoholism treatment as it is commonly practiced in the US (with group and individual therapy, and an emphasis on Alcoholics Anonymous [AA]), was compared with a minimal treatment (MT) approach (weekly alcohol education movies). At 6 months, ST patients surpassed those in MT in terms of complete abstinence, reduction in amount of alcohol consumed, length of sobriety at follow-up, improvement in employment status, number of AA meetings attended, and lower initial drop-out. It is concluded that a ST approach is more helpful than MT in treating severely alcohol-dependent individuals who have not been able to cut down drinking on their own. Those already drinking less appeared to be helped by MT. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
