title: Mandatory supervised antabuse therapy in an outpatient alcoholism program: a pilot study.
abstract: We instituted a program of mandatory supervised antabuse therapy in an outpatient alcoholism clinic for patients who wish to remain connected to the clinic but who have continued to drink repeatedly. Almost 60% of 68 patients who agreed to this regimen achieved significant periods of sobriety. These preliminary findings suggest that a controlled trial of this approach is warranted.
