Summary

This study tests a single cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program designed to help veterans who struggle with both anxiety (including PTSD) and hazardous drinking. The goal is to see if treating both issues together improves their daily functioning and reduces symptoms better than usual care. Forty veterans will participate, and the study measures changes in anxiety, alcohol use, and social adjustment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program that addresses anxiety, PTSD, and alcohol use together
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective single therapy that helps veterans manage both anxiety and alcohol use, improving their social and occupational functioning.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The therapy requires weekly sessions, and not everyone may benefit or complete the program.
