Efficacy and Tolerability of Long-Acting Injectable Naltrexone for Alcohol Dependence: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacological treatment of alcohol dependence - A review of the evidence

TL;DR: Evaluating the efficacy of 5 categories of drugs used to treat alcohol dependence found some evidence that drinking frequency is reduced but minimal evidence to support improved continuous abstinence rates, and recent reports documenting that naltrexone and acamprosate are more effective than placebo justify clinical interest in use of these medications for alcohol-dependent patients.
