Percent days abstinent from alcohol as documented in the timeline follow-back (TLFB)Immediately post treatment

The Alcohol TLFB is an interviewer-based drinking assessment method to estimate drinking behaviors, including both frequency and quantity of consumption.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Score from Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI), General Fatigue sub-scaleImmediately post treatment

The MFI is a 20-item assessment that provides an overall fatigue score (20-100) in addition to 5 separate dimensions of fatigue: general fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced motivation, reduced activity, and mental fatigue.
