Long‐term use of aversive drugs in outpatient alcoholism treatment

Öjehagen, A. LU ; Skjaerris, A. and Berglund, M. LU (1991) In Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica 84(2). p.185-190
Abstract

In a 2‐year outpatient treatment programme for alcoholics, 90% of the patients used aversive drugs during some part of the treatment period. Long‐term use was significantly related to a favourable drinking outcome during 2 years subsequent to treatment compared with short‐term use. Long‐term and short‐term users did not differ in background data. Continued use of aversive drugs after the first 6 months might have been critical for favourable outcome.
