Abstract
An examination of institutionalization patterns of 121 civilly committed addicts over a period of 58 to 80 months (approximately 5 to 6 1/2 years) shows that while some succeed in supervised outpatient status, most do not, and those who do not will probably spend a majority of their commitment within the institution during repeated readmissions. We are left with the question whether the limited success of the program justifies such long periods of incarceration.
