Abstract

The residential treatments for Alcohol Use Disorders (AUD) are an important element of the network of action; residential interventions should always be part of the continuum of care, along with outpatient services and self-help groups (AA, CAT). The current state of knowledge together with the variation of the epidemiology and clinical framework lead us to believe that residential programs should include three types of interventions: a) post-traumatic: b) addictions/ personality disorders; c) rehabilitation. The complexity of the residential setting makes it difficult to apply models of clinical research: while the evidence testify to the overall effectiveness of residential treatment for AUD and the importance of motivational processes, further studies are needed to define the therapeutic dynamics and the programs’ active elements.
