Abstract

Several propositions derived from a social resources perspective regarding differences in first and repeat admissions are examined using data taken from persons being treated for alcohol misuse and from persons not receiving treatment. Although objective behavior (drinking level) is very important as a predictor of first admissions, it is of less consequence in predicting repeat admissions. The data indicate a complex pattern of interaction effects among social resources and between them and drinking behavior in determining who comes to receive treatment and who is readmitted to treatment.
