Brief Summary
Art therapy support combined with standard care for people with an alcohol use disorder coming to a day hospital for withdrawal could be beneficial compared to standard care alone because it would improve the alexithymia of these patients, helping them to better identify their feelings and / or emotions, and improve their self-confidence, their self-esteem self and their oral communication.
