Klubovi liječenih alkoholičara u Hrvatskoj (KLA) dominantan su oblik postbolničkog tretmana u čijim je temeljima obiteljski pristup. Uključivanje člana obitelji u grupni rad proizlazi iz ...razumijevanja alkoholizma kao bolesti koja rezultira višestrukim posljedicama na obiteljsku dinamiku i razvoj članova obitelji pojedinačno. Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi neka obilježja funkcioniranja članova obitelji i drugih značajnih osoba u pratnji te njihovu procjenu doprinosa KLA doživljaju napretka u raznovrsnim područjima života, odnosno doživljaju promjene u psihosocijalnom funkcioniranju. Istraživanje je provedeno u 40 slučajno odabranih klubova u Hrvatskoj koristeći stratificirani uzorak, a ukupno je sudjelovalo 200 članova koji dolaze kao podrška osobi koja se liječi od ovisnosti o alkoholu. Rezultati pokazuju da su članovi obitelji podijeljeni oko svog statusa, ali prepoznaju doprinos KLA doživljaju napretka u raznovrsnim područjima života, kao i doživljaju promjene u psihosocijalnom funkcioniranju. Koristeći hijerarhijsku regresijsku analizu, dva čimbenika pokazala su se osobito značajnima − duljina članstva u KLA i raznovrsnost različitih tema u stručnom radu. Što je osoba duže uključena u rad KLA i što više tema stručnjak prorađuje, to će KLA ostaviti snažniji doprinos na doživljaj osobnih promjena. Pored toga, značajni prediktori su i prepoznat kvalitetniji odnos stručnjaka prema osobi u pratnji i kvalitetniji odnos drugih članova prema sudioniku. Na kraju se predlažu mjere usklađivanja stručne prakse oko uključivanja članova obitelji kako bi se ostvarili što bolji terapijski učinci za osobe s problemom ovisnosti o alkoholu i članove njihove obitelji.
