Overview

What we are studying

We are conducting a research study to obtain greater knowledge about the pathways followed in new recovery attempts for individuals with alcohol problems. 


Why it is important

Alcohol use disorders (AUD) are often chronic conditions that require ongoing monitoring and management over the long-term to increase the chances of stable remission. 


Given the diverse range of addiction experiences, recovery preferences and pathways to recovery, more empirically-supported options are likely to engage and help a greater variety of individuals seeking recovery.


What we hope to accomplish

This study has the potential to contribute valuable information about recovery pathways for individuals with alcohol use disorder and may provide additional support for mutual-help organizations.
