The aim of this work is to determine if relapses can hinder the sequence of psychological recovery and to rebuild this sequence in patients with severe alcohol dependence that seek treatment. The sample was comprised of 159 patients seeking an intensive outpatient treatment of two years duration and who were subject to follow-up during four years after discharge. Patients were grouped according to the presence of relapse during follow-up, resulting in abstainers (n = 80) and relapsers (n = 79). Assessments were carried out in the following periods: baseline, at discharge, and at the second- and fourth-year follow-ups. The measurement variables were avoidance behavior, anxiety, depression, impulsivity and meaning in life (MiL). A control group (n = 74) was evaluated at the same periods as the patients. Results indicate a slower recovery in relapsers in comparison to abstainers in all psychological dimensions and periods assessed. At the second-year follow-up, the abstainers achieved similar scores in depression as the control participants, in addition to higher scores in Meaning in Life at the end of treatment. In patients with severe alcohol dependence, our data supports a sequence of recovery that could continue beyond the four years of follow-up after treatment. This sequence would begin with the avoidance of risk situations and continue with the rest of dimensions (anxiety, depression, impulsivity).
