Abstract

Since return to drinking is common in patients recovering from alcoholism, recognition of relapse should be an important component of treatment. Recurrent assessment with biochemical measures can provide clinicians with useful information on the drinking status of their patients. This chapter addresses issues surrounding the importance of early detection of relapse, describes biochemical markers that may assist in this, reviews relevant scientific investigations, and offers recommendations to researchers and clinicians.
