Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective is to investigate differences in the alcohol consumption pattern between alcohol addicts receiving conventional treatment and those who receive a combination of conventional treatment and TripleA.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study is a 12-month open-label and randomised comparison between the control group receiving only conventional treatment and the intervention group receiving conventional treatment enhanced with TripleA.

The studies have been designed to reflect as far as possible the conventional care for alcohol dependence. The TripleA product is intended to strengthen the existing methods used during the assessment phase, treatment phase and aftercare of alcohol dependence.
