El objetivo fundamental de este trabajo es presentar evidencia de que el tratamiento conductual puede conseguir la recuperación de sujetos diagnosticados como alcohólicos, y que esta recuperación se mantiene a largo plazo. Es importante destacar que se considera recuperado tanto el sujeto que mantiene una abstinencia de bebidas alcohólicas, como el sujeto que mantiene una pauta estable de bebida controlada. Según se observa en los resultados, parece existir un factor relacionado con el tratamiento que incide significativamente sobre las recuperaciones, y este factor es la cantidad de tratamiento recibido por el sujeto. En general, los sujetos que recibieron más cantidad de tratamiento tienen resultados mejores y más estables que los sujetos que recibieron pocas sesiones de tratamiento.
