Network Support Treatment (NST) for Alcohol Dependence

Network Support Treatment (NST) for Alcohol Dependence is a manual-driven, one-on-one outpatient treatment designed to help clients achieve alcohol abstinence. Over 12 60-minute sessions, NST therapists work with clients to increase their participation in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), increase the number of abstinent friends in their social network, increase their self-efficacy, and improve their coping strategies to resist drinking. Clients are encouraged to become more involved in social networks and group activities that do not include drinking (e.g., AA meetings, family activities, walks or lunches with nondrinking friends, participation in church groups) as well as nondrinking activities they can engage in alone (e.g., completing job applications, going on job interviews, attending classes).
