Summary

This study is testing whether a computer-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program can help people who have both an anxiety disorder and alcohol use disorder. The program teaches skills like breathing control and problem solving to break the cycle of negative feelings and drinking. Researchers will enroll 256 adults in a residential addiction treatment program to see if the online version works as well as the therapist-delivered version.
