Abstract
Based on drinking behavior and adjunctive outcome measures, it is clear that subjects who received the program of Individualized Behavior Therapy (IBT) with a treatment goal of controlled drinking (CD—E subjects) functioned significantly better throughout the two-year follow-up period than did their respective control subjects (CD—C subjects), who received conventional abstinence-oriented treatment. Moreover, the findings indicated that many of the CD—E subjects engaged in limited, nonproblem drinking throughout the follow-up period.
