Many patients are considering the use of so-called "hypnosis" treatments in the field of addictions. However, these techniques lack sufficient levels of evidence with regard to the standards required by Evidence-Based Medicine.

The investigators will focus on the "Techniques for Activating Consciousness" (TAC), which represent an optimized therapeutic approach derived from hypnotic therapy.
