Summary
This study tests whether hypnosis and self-exercises can help people with moderate to severe alcohol addiction control their drinking. About 98 outpatients will be split into two groups to compare the hypnosis-based approach with standard care. The main goal is to see how quickly participants reach their drinking goals over 6 months.
