title: [Long-term rehabilitation of chronic alcoholic patients at psychiatric halfway houses].
abstract: The psychiatric adjustment centre is an important link in the treatment of chronic alcoholics. The adjustment centre attached to the County. Neurological Hospital at Lübben is used as an example to discuss the problems associated with sheltered work, living and recreation places. On the basis of four years of experience it can be said that some 10% of our patients with alcohol problems, most of whom have already broken links with their families and some of whom have already rejected society, require this form of treatment. Attention is drawn to the gradual transition from ward to outpatient treatment of patients with alcohol problems.
