Brief Summary:
The approach-avoidance training program (AATP) has shown preliminary promise as an add-on to standard treatment for alcohol dependence. However, knowledge is lacking as to whether the effectiveness of AATP can be enhanced further when performed in a typical drinking situation. The main aim of this study is to investigate whether approach-avoidance training implemented in a virtual reality bar environment is superior to the classical joystick PC-version of the AATP.
Detailed Description:
The study will be implemented as a randomized controlled trial. A total of 135 consecutively enrolled alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients, recruited from alcohol inpatient clinics in Germany, Poland and Denmark, will be randomized into one of three groups at the start of standard alcohol treatment: group A) stimuli-relevant AATP as usual; group B) stimuli-relevant ATTP in virtual reality, and group C) treatment as usual (TAU; control group). Treatment outcomes will be assessed at pre-treatment, post-treatment and 3-month follow-up. Generalized mixed-models will be applied to compare the trajectories of the groups over time on drinking, craving and impulsiveness outcomes.
