Consistency of Posttreatment Alcoholic's Drinking Patterns.
Watson, Charles G.; Pucel, John
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v53 n5 p679-83 Oct 1985
Using a sample of 98 alcoholics, studied intercorrelations between control-over-drinking ratings made in 10 follow-ups covering the first 18 months after treatment. Control among treated alcoholics was generally inconsistent and only marginally predictable. Recidivism increased up to 9th-month follow-up, then it stablized and seemed to decline slightly.
