    • Previous research often focused on individual behaviors, with less emphasis on social resources.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine how social resources influence first-time versus repeat admissions for alcohol misuse treatment.
    • To investigate the interplay between social resources and drinking behavior in treatment seeking.

    Main Methods:

    • Objective drinking level is a strong predictor for first admissions but less so for repeat admissions.
    • Complex interaction effects were observed between social resources and drinking behavior in determining treatment entry and readmission.

    Conclusions:

    • Social resources play a multifaceted role in alcohol treatment seeking and retention.
    • Predictors for initial treatment admission differ from those for readmission, highlighting the need for tailored interventions.
