Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
There are at least two good reasons for offering patients a choice when the goal is a change in their behavior. The first is that patients are likely to know what treatment works best for them. Secondly, being allowed to choose between options may increase compliance in treatment. As a randomized controlled trial, this study will compare the efficacy of patient self-matching versus treatment-as-usual expert matching.
The Self-Match Study is expected to increase knowledge on the importance of involving the alcohol dependent patient in choosing what treatment method is best for him/her instead of having experts to do that. The investigators expect to discover patient involvement as a way to improve compliance in treatment, hence preventing that patients drop out of treatment to early. If this hypothesis proves to be right, clinicians will have a viable strategy for matching treatment methods to patients, since the strategy does not demand further resources in the treatment system.

Self Match
The patient must choose between the five possible treatment options.
Self Match
Video presentation of treatment option are shown to the patient whereafter the patient must choose between the five possible treatment options.
Expert Match
The Patient is referred to treatment by standard procedure which is Expert Match based on patient data.
Expert Match
Referral as usual to one of five possible treatment options. The referral is based on baseline data from the patient and by the means of an algorithm, used in daily clinical praxis.
