Summary
This study tested whether showing people in early recovery from alcohol use disorder personalized, high-intensity images of future events could help them think more about long-term rewards and increase their interest in treatment. Fifty-eight participants were split into two groups: one saw vivid future cues, the other saw low-intensity cues. The goal was to see if these cues could shift decision-making toward healthier choices.
