%X A considerable level of physical morbidity (71.1% of cases) was found in 76 consecutive admissions to an alcoholism treatment unit. Sixteen patients (21.1%) developed complications during detoxification despite drug treatment. Complications were associated with a reported daily alcohol intake of greater than 35 units. The early detection and management of the physical complications of alcohol misuse remain important functions of alcoholism treatment units.<p /><p>Language: en</p>
