About this trial
The goal of this clinical study is to test the effectiveness of a supplemental fMRI neurofeedback and/or TMS intervention in individuals seeking treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder.
After an initial visit, participants will come in once a week for four (4) weeks for an intervention session, which may or may not include TMS and MRI. Participants will be contacted for monthly follow-ups (remotely) for up to 12 months and will be asked to come in for two MRI follow-ups at 6 and 12 months.
