  • Assessment of combined treatment modalities effectiveness and emerging applications in low- and middle-income countries.
  • Combined MI and CBT demonstrate superior outcomes in reducing alcohol consumption and enhancing treatment engagement.
  • CBT is effective across all AUD severities, while CM rapidly initiates abstinence through reinforcement.
