Psychosocial functioning among individuals who exceed low-risk drinking limits (exceed three to four standard drinks for women/men) is heterogeneous. Among those who receive treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD), recent research found that more than one-half of those who exceeded low-risk limits (i.e. treatment non-responders) reported good psychosocial functioning, commensurate with those who were abstinent or low-risk drinkers (i.e. treatment responders) up to 1 year following treatment. This study aimed to determine if good levels of psychosocial functioning are maintained beyond 1 year.
Secondary analysis of 3-year follow-up data from Project MATCH (Matching Alcoholism Treatment to Client Heterogeneity) and the Combined Pharmacotherapies and Behavioral Interventions study (COMBINE), multi-site alcohol clinical trials conducted in the United States.
Eleven sites in COMBINE and nine sites in Project MATCH.
Individuals with AUD from COMBINE and Project MATCH (n = 1383 and n = 1726) characterized in terms of drinking/functioning at 1-year follow-up and retained at 3-year (n = 641 and n = 790) post-treatment follow-ups.
Alcohol consumption measured by Form-90 and psychosocial functioning assessed by various instruments at 3 years post-treatment FINDINGS: High-functioning non-responders at 1 year post-treatment maintained a high level of functioning 2 years later and were not significantly different from the abstainers/low-risk drinkers on any functional outcomes (e.g. SF12 Mental Health Mean difference: -1.38 [95% confidence interval (CI) = -4.34, 1.57), SF12 Physical Health Mean difference: -0.43 (95% CI = -2.28, 3.13)].
Approximately one-half of those who engage in some heavy drinking in the year following treatment for alcohol use disorder appear to maintain high levels of psychosocial functioning up to 3 years following treatment.
饮酒量超过低风险限度（女性/男性超过三到四个标准饮酒单位）的个体，其心理社会功能存在异质性。在接受酒精使用障碍（AUD）治疗的人群中，近期研究发现，超过低风险限度的人群（即治疗无反应者）中有超过一半报告称心理社会功能良好，在治疗后长达1年的时间里，与戒酒者或低风险饮酒者（即治疗有反应者）相当。本研究旨在确定心理社会功能的良好水平在1年后是否能得以维持。
对来自美国多中心酒精临床试验“匹配酒精成瘾治疗与患者异质性项目”（Project MATCH）和“联合药物治疗与行为干预研究”（COMBINE）的3年随访数据进行二次分析。
COMBINE研究中的11个地点以及Project MATCH研究中的9个地点。
来自COMBINE研究和Project MATCH研究的AUD患者（分别为n = 1383和n = 1726），在1年随访时根据饮酒/功能情况进行了特征描述，并在治疗后3年随访时仍被纳入研究（分别为n = 641和n = 790）。
治疗后3年时，通过Form - 90测量酒精摄入量，并使用多种工具评估心理社会功能。
治疗后1年时功能良好的无反应者在2年后仍维持较高功能水平，在任何功能结局方面与戒酒者/低风险饮酒者均无显著差异（例如，SF12心理健康平均差异：-1.38 [95%置信区间（CI）= -4.34, 1.57]，SF12身体健康平均差异：-0.43 [95% CI = -2.28, 3.13]）。
在酒精使用障碍治疗后的一年内有过一定程度重度饮酒的人群中，约有一半在治疗后长达3年的时间里似乎能维持较高的心理社会功能水平。
