Clinical Course of Alcohol Use Disorder Recovery (NCT05607290)

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: University of South Florida

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this single-arm clinical trial is to better understand the ways in which individuals seeking treatment recover from Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The main aims are to: * To establish operational definitions of types of change in relation to National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism's (NIAAA) new definition of recovery, and to distinguish between treatment response, remission versus recovery, and relapse versus recurrence. * To describe patterns of recovery, including the frequency of within-person transitions between types of change in clinical course to better understand the dynamic nature of recovery. * To examine the predictive relationships between theoretically important cognitive, behavioral, and affective process variables and changes during recovery, with a focus on how people initiate versus maintain change. Participants will: * Receive 12 weeks of psychotherapy for Alcohol Use Disorder * Complete brief assessments after each treatment session. * Complete brief assessments bi-weekly via phone for 1-year following treatment. * Complete in-person interviews at 3 or 6-month intervals post-treatment.
