Ten years of inpatient programs for alcoholic patients
RA Moore
The author reviews the progress made during the past decade in making acute
hospital facilities available to the alcoholic patient. He also describes
the advances that have been made in the level of care provided by
increasingly available detoxification centers. However, he finds that the
needs of chronically and permanently disabled alcoholic individuals are
still not being met by the mental health system.
