Integrating AI Into Alcoholism Management and Prevention of Relapse: A Systematic Review of Intervention Strategies and Outcomes.

Management of Alcohol Use Disorder involves multiple strategies like pharmacotherapy, behavior therapy cognitive therapy, and upcoming therapies integrating technology which is still in the initial phase. To conduct a comprehensive evaluation of recent research on use of artificial intelligence in management and relapse prevention in alcoholism. The search strategy was based on the PICO formulation of the research topic. The well-known databases SCOPUS, PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched using various combinations of keywords. The search was conducted using keywords and Boolean operators (AND and OR) to prevent oversaturating the data. For the study, 12 full-text papers were chosen. Cochrane RoB 2.0 and ROBINS-I were used to prevent bias. Review research verified that using artificial intelligence in managing alcoholism and relapse prevention is in ascending mode. The majority of the studies showed positive outcomes. Mobile apps are the commonly used technology intervention. This research highlighted and added to the growing body of artificial intelligence in the healthcare sector. It is an area where more effort and investments need to be made.
