title: [Relapse in alcoholism during inpatient therapy. Empirical facts and practical recommendations for relapse management].
abstract: The contribution resumes the most important empirical results on the phenomenon of alcoholic relapse during inpatient-treatment. Results and clinical considerations lead to the opinion to abandon the classic position of disciplinary discharge after inpatient relapse without deviating from the ideal target of abstinence. Proposals are made for the practical management of relapses during inpatient-treatment. Finally, it is demanded for empirical studies on this taboo field of addiction treatment for deciding the questions of continued treatment or discharge after inpatient alcoholic relapse.
