it's good to remember that AVRT is a technique, and not a program.
it's a technique to handle thoughts, basically, and is not specific to alcohol or alcoholism in that way. it is helpful in addiction for those crazy "AV thoughts" and in general life for some other "crazy-old-groove-habitual-negative-unreal-engrained-skewed-perspective-illogical-thinking" type blips that come up, but it's not a program as such.
as a technique, it's a tool that can be a valuable part of some programs, or it can stand alone and be sufficient for what you want to do.
