Based on an investigation of the literature from 1951 to 1975, it can be generalized that alcoholism programs featuring multiple treatment components and dealing with a patient class of good prognosis might be expected to achieve a 50% success rate at l‐yr follow‐up, in contrast to programs with limited resources and poor‐prognosis patients, which can expect a success rate of only 15%.
