Most clinicians who treat clients with alcohol dependency emphasize a treatment goal of

  1. controlled drinking

  2. gradually lengthening periods of sobriety

  3. substituting benign medications for alcohol

  4. total abstinence

The correct answer is: controlled drinking

Clinicians who treat clients with alcohol dependency may initially encourage controlled drinking as a treatment goal. Gradually lengthening periods of sobriety may not be a feasible goal for certain individuals who struggle with alcohol dependency. Substituting benign medications for alcohol may not address the root cause of the dependency and may not lead to long-term success. Total abstinence may be an ultimate goal, but it may not be the immediate focus of treatment as it can be challenging to achieve and maintain. Therefore, the most common and reasonable treatment goal for clients with alcohol dependency is controlled drinking.
