    Area of Science:

    • Addiction Medicine
    • Psychiatry
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Conventional outpatient counseling for alcoholism suffers from high patient drop-out rates.
    • There is a need for more effective and flexible treatment modalities for alcohol dependence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a hospital-based intensive day care program for alcoholics.
    • To assess the impact of this program on patient retention and short-term outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a ten-day hospital-based intensive day care program.
    • Integration of supportive counseling and Alcoholics Anonymous during the program.
    • Focus on program flexibility to address individual patient needs.

    Main Results:

    • A dramatic reduction in patient drop-outs compared to conventional outpatient care.
    • Significant short-term improvement observed in 41.6% of patients.
    • The program demonstrated enhanced flexibility for specialized patient care.

    Conclusions:

    • Intensive hospital-based day care is a low-cost, effective treatment for alcoholism.
    • This modality offers improved patient retention and positive short-term results.
    • Further long-term outcome studies are recommended to fully assess treatment efficacy.
