The well-known databases SCOPUS, PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched using various combinations of keywords. The search was conducted using keywords and Boolean operators (AND and OR) to prevent oversaturating the data. For the study, 12 full-text papers were chosen. Cochrane RoB 2.0 and ROBINS-I were used to prevent bias. Review research verified that using artificial intelligence in managing alcoholism and relapse prevention is in ascending mode. The majority of the studies showed positive outcomes. Mobile apps are the commonly used technology intervention. This research highlighted and added to the growing body of artificial intelligence in the healthcare sector. It is an area where more effort and investments need to be made.
