  • Participants and therapists described various psychological change processes related to treatment.
  • The intervention included psychological support and structured cognitive behavioural therapy.
  • Findings on safety and tolerability were assessed alongside psychological effects.
  • Preliminary efficacy data may indicate potential benefits for relapse prevention in alcohol use disorder.
