Summary

This study looked at whether giving people with alcohol dependence a longer course of diazepam (one month instead of the usual week) during detoxification could help them avoid relapsing into drinking. 26 participants were followed for three months after starting detox. The goal was to see if the extended treatment reduced the number of people who drank any alcohol during that time.
