Trusting relationship with counselor vital to successful alcohol treatment

(University at Buffalo) Patients who reported the most positive relationships with their counselors had fewer days of drinking and fewer days of heavy drinking between treatment sessions than patients whose relationship was not as positive. The results indicate that efforts to ensure a good match between patient and counselor can have considerable benefits to the patient's recovery.
