The relapse rate after discharge from inpatient detoxification is high.The objective of this pilot study is to assess the sociodemographic, clinical and therapeutic factors associated with maintaining abstinence in patients who participated in a brief motivational interviewing group during admission for detoxification.A total of 46 patients, diagnosed substance dependent according to DSM -IV, and admitted to the Hospital Detoxification Unit, participated in a brief motivational interviewing group. Sociodemographic, clinical, motivation to change (University of Rhode Island Change Assessment, URICA) and satisfaction with the treatment group (Treatment Perceptions Questionnaire, CPT) data were collected. Abstinence and treatment retention two months after discharge were assessed by weekly telephone calls. A survival analysis was performed. Being male, having more cognitions of the maintenance stage of change at discharge, being satisfied with group therapy and therapist during hospitalization are associated with longer abstinence after discharge.The brief motivational interviewing group approach with patients admitted for detoxification is related to greater likelihood of maintaining abstinence and subsequent treatment retention. Los resultados muestran que ser varón, tener cogniciones del estadio de mantenimiento del cambio al alta y tener una buena satisfacción con la terapia grupal y su terapeuta durante el ingreso, se asocia con mayor tiempo en abstinencia tras el alta.El abordaje psicoterapéutico grupal breve de corte motivacional, en pacientes ingresados para la desintoxicación, se relaciona con mayor probabilidad de mantenimiento de abstinencia y de retención al tratamiento posterior.Palabras clave: Entrevista Motivacional, trastorno por uso de sustancias, recaída, desintoxicación hospitalaria, terapia grupal.
