The intentions of this enquiry were to the impact of behaviour modification techniques on clients' recovery from alcohol use disorders. This was in the light of concern that alcohol use disorder has increasingly become one of the major social challenges in Iten. The study was anchored on the cognitive behavioural theory. It used correlational research design. The target population was 100 clients recovering from alcohol use disorder and four counsellors in Iten Wellness Centre, Kenya. The study purposively chose all the counsellors, and then it used a stratified selection strategy and a simple random sampling technique to select 70 clients. Interview schedules and questionnaires were used to gather data. To analyse the data, both inferential and descriptive statistics were employed. Analysis of descriptive statistics was done using means, standard deviation, percentages and frequencies. Multiple regression analysis and Pearson correlation analysis were used to examine the hypothesis. The results indicated that self-control management skills (p<0.001) positively and significantly influenced recovery from alcohol used disorder. It was thus concluded that self-control management skills significantly influenced clients’ recovery from alcohol use disorder at Iten Wellness Centre, Kenya. In light of the findings, the research suggests the introduction of self-control management skills to the young people in schools to deter alcohol use disorders early.
