[Long-term rehabilitation of alcohol dependent drivers (1)--individual psychologic traffic therapy]

The "Individualpsychologische Verkehrstherapie (IVT-Hö)" is a rehabilitation measure for accident-prone drivers. In it are treated principally drivers who are problem drinkers, for whom the usual re-education is unsuitable because of severe alcohol problems. IVT comprises a psycho-therapeutic process, medical care and traffic re-education, and is tailored to individual problem situations respectively. A scientific study of the success rate indicates that through IVT, reductions of the probability of relapse are achievable, which far exceed even the effectiveness of re-education carried out with fewer problematical cases (e. g. Leer model).
