Smokers have the patch.
Now alcoholics have Naltrexone. It s a breakthrough that offers a modern medical response to a medical issue. Naltrexone is the first drug ever approved by the FDA that reduces the drinker s craving for alcohol. When taken by persons motivated to stop drinking, who also participate in personal and group counseling sessions, Naltrexone is demonstrating successes that counseling programs alone cannot. Alcoholics find they re able to attain and maintain their sobriety, even after they complete the program.
