Network and Contingency Management for Alcohol Treatment
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Network Support for Alcohol Dependence. Completed, enrolled 210 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Relapse is the most serious problem in alcoholism treatment. The overall aim of the present study was to determine if a treatment directed at changing the patient's social network, from one that reinforces drinking behavior to one that reinforces sobriety, can create the conditions necessary for long-term treatment success. In addition, we intended to determine if explicit reinforcement for this change of social network (Contingency Management or ContM) would be more effective than the same network support intervention without contingent reinforcement for change.
