Exercise and Neural Adaptations: Designing a Novel Treatment for Alcohol Addiction.

Conclusions: Given the current reviews findings on the neural mechanisms of alcohol addiction, the neurophysiological basis of exercise treatment, and the results of exercise interventions during alcohol treatment the current research team has developed a novel approach to treatment of alcohol addiction by incorporating aerobic interval exercise into traditional, evidence-based, cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of exercise may promote and compliment CBT treatment and lead to reduced drinking outcomes. PMID: 31634875 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
