Time in Residential Care and Participation in Alcoholics Anonymous as Predictors of Continued Sobriety

Abstract

This follow-up study located 158 of 274 residents served over five years in Rockdale House, a residential community program in Conyers, Georgia. Hypothesized predictors of successful outcome were continued participation in Alcoholics Anonymous after discharge and number of days in residence. Responses by ex-residents showed a significant relationship between time in residence and participation in AA for those reporting continued sobriety.
