    Abstract

    One hundred and eleven socially stable alcoholic patients were subjected to a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment protocol based on a biobehavioral model of alcoholism. Physical pathology, malnutrition, and toxicity were prevalent throughout the sample. After a period of inpatient care, subjects were treated for a period of 12 months with a combination of medical, nutritional, behavioral, and psychological support and care. At the end of the study period, 91 subjects (81.9%) remained in treatment contact. Sixty seven subjects (60.4%) were abstinent and physically stable at the 12-month date. Elevations of three scales of the MMPI were significantly predictive of treatment outcome.
