Received 5 November 2001; first review notified 13 December 2001; accepted 16 January 2002

— Aims: A single case study of alcohol withdrawal through monitored alcohol consumption in a hostel resident. Method: A standard dose of cider was given when the client requested, and had a lower breath alcohol concentration than when he took his previous dose of cider. Results: Abstinence was uneventfully achieved on two separate occasions each taking only 2 days. Conclusions: Withdrawal from alcohol through monitored alcohol consumption is a potentially effective and rapid procedure, but the limits of its appropriate use have not been established.
