Summary Alcoholism Treatment Units (ATUs) are as the major institutional treatment system for alcoholics within the British National Health Service. This paper is part of a series of papers to report the results of a national survey on ATUs. It examines the links which ATUs have with community agencies: special service links, general service links and training links. It also describes these links in relation to the ‘community variable’ and presents a discussion on the implications of these findings for future treatment provisions.
