title: [Follow-up of alcoholics. Inpatients at the Solhaugen Rehabilitation Center in 1985 and 1986].
abstract: In this follow-up study 76 inpatient alcoholics who had stayed at a Treatment Centre for Alcoholism for at least 12 weeks were invited to participate. Five had died, seven were not found, and the remaining 64 were interviewed nine to 30 months after discharge. Laboratory tests for liver functioning were also obtained. Only one reported total abstinence, but 30 clients (47%) reported less drinking. Most of them had a better social and economic situation than before the period of treatment.
