Alcoholism treatment in general hospitals

Journal of Studies on Alcohol
J Wallen, J A Noble

Abstract

This article examines recent developments in the role of general hospitals in providing treatment for alcoholism. It employs data on 5,000 U.S. short-term general hospitals and on all patients discharged from a subsample of 400 of these hospitals in the years 1980 through 1985. The article describes the growth in alcoholism treatment resources in short-term hospitals (1980-85) and examines linked hospital and patient data for the 400 hospitals in the subsample to describe patient diagnoses and resource use (1980 and 1985). Patients are classified by the stage of their alcohol problem, and hospital use is examined for patients in different stages.
