Techniques for Activating Consciousness (TAC) for Outpatients With Moderate to Severe Alcohol Addiction
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Alcohol Addiction
In brief
Many patients are considering the use of so-called "hypnosis" treatments in the field of addictions. However, these techniques lack sufficient levels of evidence with regard to the standards required by Evidence-Based Medicine. In other domains, however, hypnosis has demonstrated an interesting level of evidence, particularly in pain management. The investigators will focus on the "Techniques for Activating Consciousness" (TAC), which represent an optimized therapeutic approach derived from hypnotic therapy.
