Blended Treatment: Live Demonstration of the RADIUS Web App for Alcohol Use Disorders

RADIUS, a certified medical device (online intervention), is employed in a blended treatment approach. This method combines face-to-face psychotherapy based on the Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) with the RADIUS web app to treat patients with alcohol dependence in an outpatient setting. It is designed to be implemented immediately following a qualified withdrawal treatment. Building on a behavioral therapy manual, the approach aims to motivate patients toward abstinence-oriented behavior. Enhanced confrontation with one’s own dysfunctional or symptomatic behaviors could facilitate behavioral change within psychotherapy, potentially reducing the required number of therapy sessions. A live demonstration of the RADIUS web app, as utilized in the EVA-RADIUS study, will be included in this presentation. Participants are encouraged to bring their own internet-enabled devices, such as smartphones, laptops, or tablets, to test the application firsthand. For further insights into the structure of the EVA-RADIUS study, see the presentation: EVA-RADIUS: A Blended Approach to Continuing Therapy After Alcohol Withdrawal.
