Abstract: When it comes to alcoholism therapy, motivation plays a significant role since it influences patients to seektreatment, complete treatment, and comply with treatment. Additionally, it helps patients achieve successful long-termadjustments in their drinking habits, which helps prevent relapse. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of astructured intervention program on the motivation and relapse rates of clients who were hospitalized to a particular hospital inChennai, Tamil Nadu, and were diagnosed with alcohol dependent syndrome. For this study, the design consisted of a trueexperimental, pre-test, post-test, and control group. The sample was comprised of twenty patients who were diagnosed withalcohol dependent syndrome and were hospitalized to the de-addiction unit. The individuals were chosen using a processknown as systematic random sampling. The Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale (SOCRATES 8A)and the Advance Warning of Relapse -AWARE were the instruments that were utilized. The demographic and clinical datasheet connected to alcoholism was also utilized. On the first day, a pre-test was administered. The experimental group was setto participate in a specialized nurse intervention program beginning on the second day and continuing through the twelvethday on alternate days. This program included risk reward analysis, coping skill training, assertiveness training, family-basedintervention, and psychoeducation and was slated to begin on the second day. In the first post test, which was administeredone week after the intervention on the 19th day, the second post test was administered on the 42nd day, one month after theintervention, and the third post test was administered on the 102nd day, which was three months after the intervention.Friedman took a number of measures. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to determine whether there was asignificant difference in the motivation scores and relapse scores of the experimental group between the pre-test and post-testI, II, and III. The observed differences were (χ = 20.25, P<0.001) and (χ = 28.92, P<0.001) respectively. The interventionprogram inspired the clients who were suffering from alcohol dependence syndrome to confront the issues that were alreadypresent and to take measures to prevent or lessen relapse, which is a necessary condition for accomplishing completerecovery.
