At follow-up, 58.4% of the sample had never accessed alcohol treatment, 31.2% had accessed professional treatment (with or without AA attendance), and 10.4% had attended AA without professional treatment. Relative to the persistent AUD group, the abstinent group was more likely to have attended AA-only prior to baseline and to have accessed professional treatment before or after the baseline interview, and the low-risk remitted group was less likely to have accessed professional treatment (Table 2).
