Abstract

Follow-up studies of 758 men alcoholics at 18 months and 4 years after admission to treatment reveal that alcoholism is a chronic and unstable condition, that remission occurs as both long-term abstinence and nonproblem drinking, that only modest improvements in social adjustments are observed and that the risk of nonproblem drinking versus abstinence varies among subgroups.
