Abstract
In this paper a time limited, cost effective day treatment program for alcoholics, and characteristics of patients entering this treatment program, are described. The advantages of this day treatment program are discussed with special emphasis on its relationship with other community service agencies, with the community at large and, with a General Hospital Mental Health service, of which it is a part. The implications for planning cost effective treatment services for alcoholics are discussed.
