Matching Problem Drinkers With Optimal Treatments

  • Chapter
Treating Addictive Behaviors

Part of the book series: Applied Clinical Psychology ((ABBI,volume 13))

Abstract

It seems the most obvious of commonsense assertions: that individuals with varying needs and characteristics will respond optimally to different kinds of intervention, and therefore that clients should be matched with optimal approaches rather than all being treated in the same way. Indeed many if not most alcoholism treatment programs give lip service to the need for individually tailoring intervention programs. Yet this apparently simple and uncontentious assertion is, in fact, a highly complicated and interesting issue which—if taken seriously—has important research and clinical implications that are not only controversial, but potentially revolutionary, at least for alcoholism treatment practices as they currently exist in the United States.
