Training Inhibition in Alcohol Use Disorder

More and more studies aim to improve neurocognitive functioning in alcohol use disorder, but very few studies have focused on training-inhibitory-control efficacy on alcohol intake. Our program relies on a comprehensive model of addiction considering inhibition deficit as the hallmark of addiction. Our program proposes inhibition training on a task which does not refer to alcohol, combined with a debriefing promoting transferability of the enhanced skill and psychoeducation. In this perspective of aiming to retrain deficits involved in addiction in itself and not only due to alcohol toxicity. We propose an add-on single-blinded randomized controlled trial, in alcohol use disorder, assessing the efficacy of a computerized cognitive training program targeting inhibition as compared to treatment as usual.
