Summary

This study tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) with cognitive training can help people with alcohol use disorder stay abstinent longer. About 40 participants who are already sober and in a treatment program will receive the paired therapy. Researchers will track relapse rates and cognitive function over four months to see if this approach reduces the chance of returning to drinking.
