[Conceptual and Cognitive Restructuring?]

Objective: In the treatment of patients with alcohol dependence it is next to physical detoxification under protected conditions to promoting abstinence motivation. Further the need of crisis interventions is derived from the clinical practise. To be able to become fairer to all groups of treatment as well as the different demands, the addiction admission station was restructured. Methods: Pre-post-evaluation. Results: It was found that the door was closed up significantly less often after the restructuring. In the residence time structure an increase appeared in the descriptive values with the more than 7-day stays. Conclusions: It is to be able to hold successfully the optional closed door highly significantly more often open.
