Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Alcohol Use Disorder, Drug Addiction, Gambling Disorder, and Codependency: A 12-Month Randomized Controlled Trial

A 12-month randomized controlled trial evaluated CBT's effectiveness for treating alcohol use disorder, drug addiction, gambling disorder, and codependency across approximately 70-74 participants per condition. Results showed statistically significant improvements (p < 0.001) in quality of life and reduced addiction severity in the CBT group compared to controls, as measured by standardized instruments and validated assessment scales.
