Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Psychosocial therapies can help many alcohol-dependent patients reduce their drinking and maintain abstinence. These approaches alone, however, are not effective for all patients. Advances in neuroscience have helped identify many of the mechanisms underlying transition to dependence, paving the way for improved treatment options through the use of medication. Recent treatment studies with alcoholics have improved our knowledge on how to use therapeutic measures more precisely. Matching of anticraving/antidipsotropic drugs with treatment settings could improve therapeutic outcome. Naltrexone (blocking positive reinforcement by ethanol) seems to be especially effective when used in conjunction with instructions on drinking (harm) reduction; however, acamprosate (blocking negative reinforcement of conditioned alcohol withdrawal) seems to work well in settings with strict abstinence goals. Investigations are currently under way to test the efficacy of combinations like naltrexone/acamprosate with antidepressants. Psychosocial co-intervention trials and practice require further standardization. © 2002 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
