Telephonic Counseling Can Help Drinkers Get Treatment
Women also reduced their drinking, but the changes were not statistically different from the reductions seen in the women in the comparison group. It could be that screening for the problem itself could have led the women to cut back.
Petros Levounis, M.D., director of the Addiction Institute of New York at St. Lukes and Roosevelt Hospitals agreed with the study conclusions. This is exactly the direction that we should be working toward. We can actually help our patients through the phone and provide support and counseling with different methods, not just with the more traditional one-to-one psychotherapy. Levounis, who was not involved with the study, said the prevalence of alcohol disorders makes screening and brief intervention in primary care settings necessary.
