Positive changes in employment status are associated with reduced alcohol use frequency at discharge from outpatient specialty treatment
Findings suggest that improving employment status may be relevant for reducing alcohol use frequency. This aligns with past work showing overall improved health outcomes with lower unemployment levels. Incorporating vocational training and workforce engagement activities into outpatient treatment may help augment traditional approaches to improve an individual's RC.
