Abstract
The current study examined knowledge of previous use, and willingness to take alcohol-related medication among individuals in medically supervised detoxification. Participants (n = 302) provided health and demographic information, substance use and detoxification history, PCP visits, and AA attendance. Most patients had knowledge of alcohol medications, one-third had past prescription, and over 80% reported willingness to take medication. Previous detoxification predicted medication knowledge, while previous treatment predicted past prescription. More patients are willing to take medication than are prescribed medication. Findings suggest the opportunity to increase medication use following detoxification which could reduce subsequent relapse. (Am J Addict 2017;26:118-121).
