Study on How Psychiatric Disorders Affect Addiction Relapse and the Role of Screening in Hospitalized Patients

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying how psychiatric diagnoses affect the risk of relapse in patients hospitalized in complex detoxification units for addiction. The goal is to better understand which psychiatric conditions increase relapse risk and to improve patient care to reduce this risk. The study also evaluates how screening questionnaires can help make psychiatric diagnoses more reliable. This is an observational study involving patients aged 16 and older who were hospitalized in a specialized withdrawal unit within a defined time frame. During the study, researchers will analyze various psychiatric and addiction-related scores, including insomnia severity, depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction severity, ADHD, autism traits, and emotion dysregulation, all measured at 22 months. Participants will not receive experimental treatments but will be observed and assessed through questionnaires and clinical evaluations over time. The study will track these psychological and addiction-related scores to understand their relationship with relapse. The research is sponsored by the University Hospital in Strasbourg, France, and participants involvement includes completing assessments during the study period until the study ends in October 2026.
