Alcohol Dependence - Anxiety Disorder |
| Purpose: |
|
The proposed design is a single-group open-label trial. Qualified consenting participants
with active alcohol dependence and primary or secondary anxiety disorder will receive
monitored disulfiram and lorazepam, in the context of a structured Medication Management
(MM) model. In weeks 9-15 lorazepam is tapered, and disulfiram is stopped at the end of
week 16. Participants who achieve 4 weeks abstinence and meet criteria for a primary
anxiety disorder or mood disorder may receive ancillary medication consisting FDA-approved
non-benzodiazepine treatment, with specific options for each disorder described in the
protocol. Participants requiring continued treatment are referred to clinical treatment in
the community at week 16, and bridging prescriptions of anxiolytic/antidepressant medication
may be provided. A final follow-up assessment occurs at week 28. The primary outcomes are
Percent Days Abstinent (PDA) and retention in treatment. Secondary alcohol outcomes are
consequences, drinks per drinking day, remission status, and time to first heavy drinking
day. Anxiety outcomes are Hamilton Anxiety Scale scores and anxiety disorder diagnosis.
