“…Length of stay, although by itself correlated with successful outcome, was not found to be related to drinking outcomes when it was adjusted for the effects of other discharge or intake variables. This finding concurs with the conclusion of Annis and Liban [16] that the frequently observed relationship between length of residency and improved outcome does not constitute evidence for treatment effectiveness.…”

“…The post-treatment increase in detoxication centre admissions observed in the present study is similar to Annis and Liban's [16] finding that the readmission rates to Ontario detoxication centres were higher for halfway house graduates than they were for a matched no-treatment control group. In the present study, however, a subsample of halfway house graduates was found to be responsible for the increase in detox admissions.…”

An outcome study was conducted with 104 male and 56 female residents of an alcoholism halfway house. Generally poor outcomes were observed for both sexes on measures of drinking, employment, and social stability at 6, 12, and 18 month postdischarge periods. Although a number of differences were found between men and women at follow-up, sex was found to predict little of the variance when adjusted for the effects of other pretreatment characteristics. In predictive analyses, intake characteristics were found to be relatively strong predictors (19 to 21%) of drinking and employment outcomes. Status variables at the time of discharge were only modestly predictive of outcome when adjusted for intake characteristics. Implications for halfway houses are discussed.

“…Short term readmission rates range from 4% to 52% between one and six months post-discharge (Annis and Liban, 1979; Carrier et al, 2011; Li et al, 2008). Rates of readmission within one year range from 34% to 48% (Callaghan, 2003; Li et al, 2008; Mark et al, 2006; Ponzer et al, 2002).…”

Background This study examined predictors associated with readmission to detoxification in a sample of adult Alaska Native patients admitted to inpatient alcohol detoxification. Even though Alaska Native people diagnosed with alcoholism have been identified as frequent utilizers of the health care system and at elevated risk of death, little is known about factors associated with readmission to detoxification for this group. Methods We sought to predict readmission using a retrospective cohort study. The sample included 383 adult Alaska Native patients admitted to an inpatient detoxification unit and diagnosed with alcohol withdrawal during 2006 and 2007. Cox proportional hazard modeling was used to estimate unadjusted and adjusted associations with time to readmission within one year. Results Forty-two percent of the patients were readmitted within one year. Global Assessment Functioning (GAF; Axis V in the multi-axial diagnostic system of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders [DSM IV]) score measured at the time of intake was associated with readmission. A one point increase in the GAF score (HR = .96, 95% CL = .94, .99, P = .002) was associated with a four percent decrease in readmission. The results also indicated that the GAF mediated the relationship between readmission and: employment and housing status. Conclusions The GAF measures both illness severity and adaptive functioning, is part of standard behavioral health assessments, and is easy to score. Readmission rates potentially could be decreased by creating clinical protocols that account for differences in adaptive functioning and illness severity during detoxification treatment and aftercare.

“…There was evidence that retention of the women in residential and outpatient programmes is not the acute problem observed among male inebriates [20,22,23]. This would be expected based on the higher level of social stability that characterized the female sample.…”
