Summary

The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy of reinforced inpatient aftercare versus usual care on the percentage of days of abstinence during the first year following withdrawal in adults with alcohol use disorders undergoing inpatient withdrawal. The hypothesis is that reinforced post-withdrawal follow-up, of the motivational interview type, during the first 4 months following hospitalisation, in addition to the usual care, would allow : * Increase the percentage of days of abstinence in the year following withdrawal. * Reduce the rate of relapse in the year following withdrawal. * An increase in the cumulative and maximum duration of abstinence, an increase in motivation to maintain the change initiated and a reduction in the use of other substances in the year following withdrawal. * A reduction in the impact of risk factors involved in the relapse process in the year following withdrawal. All participants will have assessments to monitor their abstinence and consumption. In addition to their assessments, the experimental group will have motivational talks once every 15 days.

Detailed description

In Europe, and particularly in France, there is a high level of alcohol consumption per capita (2.51 standard drinks/day/inhabitant in France in 2019). This consumption is not without risk, since 7% of all deaths in France in 2015 were attributable to alcohol, not to mention disabling pathologies and injuries. The treatment of alcohol addiction has many facets (social, neurological, psychological, behavioural, etc.) and involves a number of stages. One aspect that is particularly decisive in the consolidation phase of withdrawal (the phase following withdrawal when the risk of relapse is high) is the motivational dimension, which is widely described in the literature. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a particularly effective tool for initiating and maintaining change. This tool, provided on a regular basis after discharge from hospital, helps to reinforce and maintain abstinence, a change initiated by users at the time of withdrawal.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Experimental group : PSH (usual care) with motivational interviewing	The experimental group will begin follow-up after the 1st inclusion visit, during hospitalisation for withdrawal. The first motivational interview will take place 1 to 4 days before discharge from full hospitalisation. The following 10 motivational interviews will be held 2 weeks apart and will follow a framework based on the following objectives: to create a relationship of trust and an effective and lasting therapeutic alliance from the first interview; to create personalised objectives for the user, in line with their addictive pathology; to support the user as they modify, 'fail' and 'succeed' in achieving these objectives; to encourage the emergence and maintenance of the user's desire to change.
