Research - Alcohol & Drug Treatment Studies

Are you looking for help to cut back or stop using alcohol and other drug use?

The Yale Stress Center offers free inpatient or outpatient treatment with study participation. Eligible research participants are those between the ages of 18-50. You can be paid between $400-500 for your participation.

At The Yale Stress Center we are developing new prevention and treatment strategies to decrease the harmful impact of stress, alcohol and drugs on health, and increase our ability to regular stress and have better self-control over addictive behavior.

There is now evidence to show that stress encourages addictive behaviors, bad habits and other poor lifestyle choices by disrupting brain function related to self-control, decision making, and normal healthy desire.

Stress increases the risk of these choices becoming bad habits, which in turn increases the risk of chronic disease. Breaking the link between stress and bad habits will decrease the risk of developing chronic diseases.
