Can hospital alcohol therapy help patients cut back? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07482150
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study will test whether it is possible to run a larger trial comparing two ways to help people with alcohol use disorder. Sixty participants will either be invited to meet a therapist at the hospital for up to 10 sessions over 6 months, or receive guidance on finding alcohol care in the community. The goal is to see if enough people join, stay, and complete the study to make a full-scale trial worthwhile.
