从马萨诸塞州酒精中毒管理信息系统的11,323名戒毒住院患者中系统地选择了447名患者作为样本。客户端的特点，再入院的频率，和脱毒后的治疗进行了评估。大多数患者（63.1%）在7个月的研究期间有一次入院。然而，11.4%的五次或五次以上的解毒需要不成比例的护理-44%的入院和40%的卧床天数。有五次或五次以上入院的人主要是白色男性，他们比其他入院者喝得更多，而且以前接受过更多的酒精中毒治疗。此外，他们在戒毒后不太可能接受戒毒后护理。总的来说，17%的样本开始长期酗酒治疗。有两个或两个以上解毒的客户最有可能进入康复之家。建议调整酗酒治疗系统，增加服务的多样性。这些变化可能会降低T...

Client characteristics, readmission frequencies, and post-detoxification treatment were assessed. Most patients (63.1%) had one admission during the seven month study period. The 11.4% with five or more detoxifications, however, required a disproportionate amount of care-44% of the admissions and 40% of the bed days. Individuals with five or more admissions were primarily white males who drank more heavily than other admissions and had more prior alcoholism treatment. Further, they were less likely to enter post-detoxification care following a detoxification. Altogether, 17% of the sample began long-term alcoholism treatment. Clients with two or more detoxifications were most likely to enter a recovery home. Suggestions are made to restructure alcoholism treatment systems and increase the diversity of services available. The proposed changes may reduce t...
