本文描述了基于流行病学的个体样本,这些个体在经过或未经治疗的情况下摆脱了酒精滥用或酒精依赖。戒酒或适量饮酒。对这些人经历的酒精问题的严重程度、发作和持续时间的检查表明,饮酒者可能有两个主要类别,具有不同的缓解途径。第一类是长期经历严重问题的人群,他们随后通过使用治疗服务决定禁欲。第二类是一群在生命中的某个阶段大量饮酒、遇到一些问题,然后随着年龄的增长并承担其他生活角色而从生命中的这个阶段“成熟”的人。 (C) 2000 爱思唯尔科学有限公司。
This paper describes an epidemiologic-based sample of individuals who remitted from alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence, both with and without treatment. to abstinence or moderate drinking. Inspection of the severity, onset, and duration of alcohol problems experienced by these individuals suggests that there may be two primary categories pf drinkers with distinct pathways to remission. The first is a population of individuals who experience significant problems for an extended period of time who then resolve to abstinence through the use of treatment services. The second is a population of individuals who drink heavily at some point in their lives, experience some problems, and then "mature out" of this stage in their life as they age and take on other life roles.
