Abstract
One of the few areas of consensus in the alcoholism treatment field involves the recognition that alcoholism is a chronic condition with a high risk of relapse. Treatment outcome studies have reported rates of 80% or more by 6 months posttreatment discharge (Armor, Polich, & Stambul, 1978; Gottheil, Thornton, Skolada, & Alterman, 1979), and drinking outcomes of individual clients have been found to be highly unstable over time (Annis & Ogborne, 1983; Finney, Moos, & Newborn, 1980, Litman, Eiser, & Taylor, 1979). It is not surprising, therefore, that, increasingly, relapse is being recognized as an important phenomenon for study.
