Patient autonomy in alcohol rehabilitation. II: Program evaluation.
The alcoholism inpatient services at the U.S. Army Hospital Nürnberg are described and assessed with attention to current issues. The results compare favorably with contemporary findings, and include an almost zero dropout rate that relates to giving the patient more "say so" in treatment selection by providing a variety of treatments in a smorgasbord fashion. Abstinent and nonabstinent patients following treatment are contrasted on psychometric and demographic variables.
