title: Relapse rates for former clients of alcoholism rehabilitation units who are drinking without symptoms.
abstract: A follow-up study of former clients of 17 alcoholism rehabilitation units of New York State shows that those clients drinking without symptoms at the first follow-up have higher relapse rates at the second than those who were abstaining at the first follow-up. This is true for all identifiable sub-groups of former clients.
