NCT00226720

Brief Summary

Detoxification, in an inpatient or outpatient program, is the primary and essential step for managing alcohol dependence. The superiority of one or other method of detoxification has never been proved in several previous randomized clinical trials (RCT). The aim of this multicenter RCT was to compare efficiency, on the abstinence rate as the primary outcome, at 1 and 3 months follow-up of two alcohol detoxification programs (a 5/7-days inpatient detox vs. an ambulatory detox).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Abstinence rate at 3 Months & 6 Months follow-up. Abstinence is defined as no alcohol drinking during the period between the last day of the detoxification program and the evaluation.

    at 3 Months & 6 Months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Relapse rate. Relapse is defined as drinking more than 4 Units per occasion (3 for women) and more than one occasion per week during the 6 months follow-up after the last day of detoxification program.

    during the 6 months follow-up
