NIDA-NIAAA workshop: efficacy of therapies in drug and alcohol addiction. Strategies for treatment of alcohol problems.
Well-controlled clinical trials have been performed to determine efficacy of alternative alcoholism treatment strategies. Six effective treatment approaches are discussed, and a research project example demonstrates the benefits of each. The treatments considered are: brief intervention, behavioral contracting, naltrexone, social skills training, the community reinforcement approach, and patient-treatment matching.
