Dr. Reid Hester, Director of the Research Division of Behavior Therapy Associates (www.behaviortherapy.com) developed Moderate Drinking with funding from NIAAA. As part of this grant he conducted a randomized clinical trial of the effectiveness of the program (in combination with participation in Moderation Management).
The study demonstrated that the program is effective in
helping heavy drinkers change their drinking.
An abstract of one of the papers reporting the results are available HERE.
A video demo of the program is available at www.behaviortherapy.com

Have you wondered about whether you should change your drinking? Get free, anonymous, objective and confidential help at the Drinker's Check-up.
This scientifically based program helps you take a detailed look at your drinking. It then gives you objective feedback about your drinking, comparing your drinking, consequences, risk factors, etc. to others. It finishes up with a section that helps you resolve your ambivalence about whether to change, set goals for changing, a plan for changing, and offers resources for helping you meet your goals. It takes 60-90 minutes (but you can do it in multiple sessions). The Drinker's Check-up will not label you nor tell you what to do. What you decide to do about your drinking, if anything, is entirely up to you. If you do decide to change though, the Check-up can help you decide how to change. It also will recommend resources to help you be successful in changing your drinking. Moderation Management is one such resource. If you find our site to be helpful, please help us help others. We are no longer charging to register to use the site. Instead we are relying on the good will of those who use the site and find it helpful to support it with a donation. Funds donated allow us to continue to provide this service to others. We spend thousands of dollars a year, mostly to get the word out though online ad campaigns but also in site maintenance costs. Donations will only be used for these purposes. Click here to go there. | |
