Abstract | Psychotropic drug use was monitored for 139 persons residing continuously over a 10-year period in an Intermediate Care Facility for mentally retarded persons. Results indicated an ongoing decrease in psychotropic drug use, with usage decreasing from 30-12 percent. Antipsychotic medication was discontinued for 73 percent of the clients over the 10 years.
