Comparison of Efficacy of an Outpatient vs Inpatient Detoxification Program for Alcohol Dependent Patients Seeking Abstinence. A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Outpatient detoxification program for Alcoholism and Alcohol Dependence. Completed, enrolled 500 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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).
