The purpose of this study is to examine whether the short version of problem-solving counseling have an
positive effect on adaption for alcohol-dependent patients in long hospitalization. Most patients who were in
the alcohol facility had been hospitalized by force of family or not having been adapted to hospitalization
because of the loss of self and depression. A total of 13 sessions were progressed and each of them was 90
minutes. We used KHD scale (life style in a hospital) to know how the patients adapt to hospital life along
with observing their behaviors. Furthermore, patients' drawing test was examined at two times (pre and
post test) to get to know color-energy using. The result of this study is following: A short version of
problem-solving counseling made progress for the alcohol-dependent patients to increase color energy
activation. Also, increased color energy had an effect on adapting to long hospitalization, following doctor's
instruction. In an initial session, the patients used color energy from short wavelength, but the energy
becomes to be derived from long wavelength which means being outgoing and adapting in society.
Therefore, this study suggests that the counseling using color energy was effective in long hospitalization.
