AIMS: The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether attending an extended inpatient detoxification treatment programme for alcohol-dependent patients providing psychotherapeutic interventions and coping skills training (QE) is associated with higher aftercare treatment attendance and higher abstinence rates compared with conventional detoxification treatment (KE). METHODS: A total of 117 patients were investigated. (QE sample n=61, KE sample n=56). Patients were followed up for at least 2 months and attendance at different aftercare treatment facilities and drinking behaviour were assessed. RESULTS: At discharge from inpatient treatment patients receiving QE report an increased perceived ability to stay abstinent when confronted with high-risk situations in the future. At follow-up, a higher abstinence rate and a higher frequency of self-help group attendance and outpatient psychotherapeutic treatment were reported in the QE sample. A regression analysis supports the chosen treatment as the main factor for success and rules out a potential sampling bias. CONCLUSIONS: Although methodological limitations have to be taken into account, our results suggest that QE provides better chances of treatment success than KE.
