在酒精领域，关于激励沉默寡言的人接受治疗的问题，几乎没有进行过实证研究。这项研究探讨了一项计划的影响，该计划涉及向酗酒者的社交网络提供咨询，最终与酗酒者面对面，敦促他或她寻求治疗。二十四个社交网络（亲戚加上重要的其他人）参与了这项研究，其中七个正式与酗酒者进行了对抗。尽管对照组在几个重要方面是相同的，但社交网络并未随机分为对抗和非对抗条件。结果表明，与未面对的酗酒者相比，面对的酗酒者更有可能参加戒酒或康复计划并保持持续戒酒。这项研究表明，酗酒者的社交网络可以帮助提高酗酒者寻求治疗的积极性。
Little empirical work has been done in the alcohol field on the issue of motivating reticent people into treatment. This study explored the impact of a program that involved counseling an alcoholic's social network to eventually confront the alcoholic in urging him or her to seek treatment. Twenty-four social networks (relatives plus significant others) participated in this study and of these, seven formally confronted the alcoholic. Social networks were not randomized to confronting vs nonconfronting conditions, although the comparison groups were equivalent on several important dimensions. Results indicate that alcoholics who were confronted were significantly more likely to enter an alcohol detox or rehabilitation program and to remain continuously abstinent than were nonconfronted alcoholics. This study suggests that the alcoholic's social network can be helped to become highly influential in motivating the alcoholic to seek treatment.
