Clinical, Cognitive, and Motivational Correlates of Short-term Outcomes in Alcohol Dependence: A Prospective Observational Study
About 30% of patients with alcohol dependence relapse within 1 month, whereas 50% relapse by the end of 3 months. Early age at onset of dependence predicted relapse at 1 month, and married status, past abstinent attempts, and intact global cognition predicted abstinence at 3 months.
