Alcoholism Treatment: A Family Disease Model with Particular Reference to Inpatient Treatment for Family Members

  • Chapter
Drug and Alcohol Use

Abstract

Broadway Lodge is a treatment center in Avon, England, which has been open since 1974. It is a private, nonprofit foundation and has a bed capacity for 35 patients. It is, in fact, the only exclusively inpatient chemical dependence unit in a county with over 1.25 million people. Even so, our patients come from a wide geographical area in the United Kingdom. A small number come from Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. Referrals are from a variety of sources: physicians, psychiatrists, employers, the social services, ex-patients, Alcoholics Anonymous, and families of alcoholics.
