Researcher
Sudie Back

List of Studies


Keywords
Alcohol, Mental Health
Summary

A large proportion of individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) also meet criteria
for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Trauma-focused, cognitive-behavioral therapy delivered alongside interventions for substance use disorders are most effective. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD and Relapse Prevention (RP) for AUD are two of the most widely used and effective treatments for these
conditions. The purpose of this study is to examine the CPT-RP, as compared to RP alone, in reducing (1) alcohol use frequency and quantity and (2) PTSD symptom severity among individuals with current AUD/PTSD.
