    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Behavioral Science
    • Addiction Medicine

    Background:

    • Controlled drinking training (CDT) provides an alternative to abstinence for alcohol dependence.
    • Avoidance conditioning principles underpin CDT.
    • Previous research supports CDT as a viable treatment option.

    Observation:

    • A 33-year-old female patient with a history of failed abstinence attempts was treated.
    • The patient experienced alcohol-related deficits in sexual functioning, engaging in intercourse only after drinking.
    • This case study examines the application of CDT to this specific patient profile.

    Findings:

    • The patient underwent controlled drinking training.
    • The treatment focused on managing alcohol consumption rather than complete abstinence.
    • The outcome of this specific CDT intervention is detailed in the paper.

    Implications:

    • Controlled drinking training may be effective for individuals who do not respond to or desire abstinence-based treatments.
    • This approach could address specific functional impairments related to alcohol use, such as sexual dysfunction.
    • Further research into CDT for diverse patient populations and specific alcohol-related issues is warranted.
