    In a 6-week inpatient alcohol treatment program, 55 of 98 alcoholics chose to drink. Those who abstained showed greater improvement at 6-month follow-up compared to those who drank.

    Area of Science:

    • Addiction research
    • Clinical psychology
    • Public health

    Background:

    • Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic relapsing condition.
    • Inpatient treatment is a common intervention for AUD.
    • Patient autonomy in treatment decisions is an area of ongoing research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of patient choice regarding alcohol consumption during inpatient treatment on treatment outcomes.
    • To explore the relationship between drinking behavior during treatment and long-term recovery.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 98 individuals diagnosed with alcoholism participated in a 6-week inpatient program.
    • Participants were given the autonomy to decide whether to consume alcohol during the program.
    • Treatment outcomes were assessed at a 6-month follow-up using measures of improvement.

    Main Results:

    • A majority of participants (55 out of 98) chose to drink during the inpatient program.
    • Individuals who abstained from alcohol during treatment demonstrated a trend towards greater improvement at the 6-month follow-up.
    • A significant difference in improvement was observed between the drinking and non-drinking groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Allowing alcohol consumption during inpatient treatment may be associated with less favorable recovery outcomes.
    • Patient choice in drinking during treatment warrants further investigation in the context of AUD interventions.
    • Findings suggest that abstinence during inpatient care may be a critical factor for improved long-term recovery in alcoholics.
