Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
ARRS- The Alcohol Relapse Risk Scale will be administered every three months to assess the overall risk of relapse in the study population, with the aim of observing a reduction in the ARRS score, indicating a decreased risk of relapse.Timepoint: Every three months from baseline till the conclusion of study.	—

Measure	Time frame
1.ARRS-Alcohol relapse risk scale is administered every three months to identify the most common cause of relapse in alcohol use disorder. 2.SADQ Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire will be administered three months to assess the overall severity of alcohol dependence in the study population. The aim is to observe a reduction in the SADQ score, indicating a decrease in the severity of alcohol dependence By using these outcome measures, the study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of individualized homoeopathic medicines in reducing the risk of relapse (as measured by the ARRS) and the overall severity of alcohol dependence (as measured by the SADQ) in the study population. The desired outcome is a reduction in the scores on these measures, indicating a positive response to the homoeopathic intervention. Timepoint: Every three months from baseline till the conclusion of study.	—
