People experiencing alcohol use disorder can reduce alcohol dependency without giving up alcohol, WSU researchers found.
Alcohol use disorder is a diagnosis that consists of different levels of alcohol-related harm, like liver failure, and clinical distress as an effect of that harm, said Susan Collins, lead author and WSU psychologist.
A study placed 405 participants randomly into four groups to analyze which strategies, medication or harm reduction counseling, reduce the most alcohol-related harm, said Richard Ries, professor of psychiatry at the University of Washington Medical School.
The first group received anti-craving medication and harm reduction alcohol counseling. The second group had a combination of a placebo medication and counseling. The third group received only counseling, Ries said. The fourth group functioned as a control with no medication or counseling.
