Summary

This trial will compare levels of treatment initiation, engagement, and alcohol outcomes for a novel treatment strategy (CBT4CBT delivered in the Black church) compared with traditional outpatient specialty addiction treatment for a large sample of Black adults with AUD.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Black adults with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) who are at least 18 years old, have had some drinking in the past month, and can speak English. They must not be currently receiving substance use treatment or have severe mental health issues like active suicidal thoughts or unstable psychotic disorders.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new way to help people with AUD by using a program called CBT4CBT delivered in Black churches. It's being compared to traditional outpatient addiction treatments. The goal is to see which setting helps more with starting treatment, staying engaged, and reducing alcohol use over time.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral therapy rather than medication, typical medical side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort discussing personal issues during therapy sessions.
