Adial Pharmaceuticals commends NIAAA’s new definition of recovery

Adial Pharmaceuticals applauded the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, NIAAA, for its newly updated definition of recovery. The new definition, outlined and emphasized in NIAAA’s 2025 Professional Judgement Budget, PJB, as reported to the U.S. Congress following an original introduction in an NIAAA PJB, emphasizes a broader, non-abstinence approach to recovery, which aligns directly with Adial’s AD04 program, which has the potential to offer patients the flexibility of reducing drinking and/or abstinence.
