Alcohol aBSTinence And braIN (ABSTAIN) Lab

The Alcohol aBSTinence And braIN (ABSTAIN) Lab, led by Dr. Hagar Hallihan, focuses on using relevant and innovative effective integrated behavioral intervention to improve treatment efficacy and better understand the neural mechanism of treatment for young adults with Alcohol Use Disorder.
