Summary Over the six‐month period following discharge from a detoxication centre, one‐fifth of the 98 women studied were arrested, one‐fifth were readmitted to the detoxication centre, one‐quarter were admitted to outpatient programmes and over one‐quarter entered residential treatment. The results are discussed in relation to previously reported follow‐up findings on male detoxication residents.
