Natural resolution of alcohol problems without treatment: environmental contexts surrounding the initiation and maintenance of stable abstinence or moderation drinking
Article Abstract:
The resolution of alcoholism without treatment was elucidated by examining the environmental events affecting the achievement of moderation drinking or stable abstinence over a multi-year time period. Results of the analysis of variance suggested that the subjects were more inclined to report more positive effects over time. Moreover, ameliorated life conditions after the initial change in behavior are linked with long-term success and may contribute to sustained maintenance.
