How does The Freedom From Alcohol® Method treatment work?
The treatment offers two basic options: the Introductory Treatment Program and Internet Introductory Program, both of which offer a combination of supportive therapies and medication aimed at controlling excessive alcohol drinking. In most cases, counseling follows a cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused framework. The basic The Freedom From Alcoho®l Method treatment program begins with an initial evaluation and consultation, followed by 5 to 10 follow-up visits, whose intervals lengthen as treatment progresses. In between sessions, telephone and/or e-mail contact is encouraged and is included in the fee. Generally, the basic treatment lasts from 3 to 6 months. After the basic treatment, follow-up sessions are recommended.
