Treatment-seeking for alcohol problems
The current study aimed to investigate the range of influences on people's decisions to seek alcohol treatment and develop a model of treatment-seeking based on participants’ accounts. Understanding these influences could inform clinical practice and aid development of effective motivational interventions for the majority of people with alcohol problems who avoid or delay seeking treatment. Individual, semi-structured interviews were conducted wi…
Dissimilar representations of alcohol problems, patient–significant other relationship quality, distress and treatment attendance
The study aimed to examine representations of alcohol problems in patients and their significant others and investigate the impact of divergent beliefs on relationship quality, significant other distress and treatment attendance. Representations of alcohol problems in patients (n = 49) admitted to an alcohol treatment clinic and their significant others (n = 49) were examined using revised versions of the Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ). D…
Idiosyncratic patterns of drinking in long-term successful controlled drinkers
A historical summary is given of the clinical application of assessment and treatment procedures emanating from the new model of problem drinking that was emerging in the 1970s contemporaneously with the opening of the Windsor Clinic in Liverpool. Learning from the sometimes unexpected long-term outcomes of treated clients has provided invaluable feedback for this service. Controlled drinking is a goal choice selected by most clients at treatment…
Treatment outcome following day care for alcohol dependency
Because of the need to maximise treatment adherence and minimise costs, the duration of treatment for alcohol problems should not be longer than is necessary to achieve clinical benefit. The present authors have previously demonstrated the effectiveness of a 10-week outpatient treatment programme. In this paper, they evaluate the effects of reducing the length of the programme to 6 weeks by comparing the outcomes to those of the original programm…
Treatment setting and treatment outcome in alcohol dependency
When empowered to select either a residential or a day care treatment programme for problem drinking, more patients favour the latter option. Those completing the full programme, which was similar in content in both settings, were followed up at approximately 9 months after initial engagement in treatment. Attrition was a major problem, particularly in the day-patient sample. Of the 103 patients who began each programme, 91 completed the resident…
