Pre-detoxification Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Group intervention for dependent alcohol users

Conclusion
A Randomised Controlled Trial remains essential to provide concrete evidence for the effectiveness of APG. More research is also required to investigate the cognitive implications of medically assisted detoxification, and their potential contribution to relapse. However, this evaluation suggests that APG is promising intervention which should be further developed.
