Summary

Editor's note

Many interventions appear effective in the treatment of severe alcohol dependence except brief interventions and psychodynamic psychotherapy. Brief interventions are effective in alcohol users at risk to develop problems and in those whose alcohol-related problems are mild to moderate. More severe alcohol usage and subsequent dependence responds to motivational enhancement therapy or motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and twelve step facilitation therapy. Other behavior therapies and couples and marital therapies are also effective here. In the USA, psychodynamic psychotherapy (for which there is very little if any evidence for effectiveness) is probably the most common form of therapy for alcohol misuse conducted outside formal alcohol treatment programs, while twelve step facilitation therapy is probably the most common form of treatment conducted within alcohol treatment programs. In the UK, motivational interviewing is the predominant mode of therapy.

Introduction

Treatment for alcohol dependence is usually composed of three phases: management of the alcohol withdrawal syndrome, motivation for and initiation of abstinence, and prevention of relapse. Both pharmacological and psychosocial interventions are used in the prevention of relapse, either separately or in combination. These interventions do not operate in a clinical vacuum, and their effectiveness is associated with a number of variables, including pre-morbid client/patient characteristics; severity of alcohol dependence; therapist characteristics and the process of treatment delivery. Treatment outcomes are likely to be different in different countries.
