Study Summary

This trial will test if a cognitive-behavioral treatment for alcohol use disorder that is delivered by computer is effective. The treatment has been shown to work when delivered by a therapist, and if the computer-delivered version is effective, it would be much more accessible to people with this disorder.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with anxiety disorders like panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, or social anxiety disorder who are also seeking treatment for alcohol use. Participants must be able to read English at an eighth-grade level and be in a residential addiction program with enough time to complete the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests if cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) delivered via computer can help people with both an anxiety disorder and alcohol use issues. It compares the effectiveness of this method against Progressive Muscle Relaxation Training (PMRT).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since CBT and PMRT are non-invasive therapies focusing on behavior modification and relaxation techniques, they typically do not have physical side effects but may cause temporary emotional discomfort.
