A medical condition

Alcohol Use Disorder Is a Medical Condition. It Responds to Medical Treatment.

It changes how the brain's reward system responds to alcohol. That's why "just drink less" so often doesn't stick, and why medicine can help.

U.S. adults had alcohol use disorder in the past year.

How it works

Why Medication Works When Willpower Does Not

Here's what happens, in plain words.

Alcohol triggers a reward

A drink releases the brain's own feel-good chemicals (endorphins). That reward is what builds the pull to drink again.

Naltrexone blocks the reward

Naltrexone sits on the receptors those chemicals use. The drink still happens, but the "buzz" that drives the next one is muted.

The pull fades over time

Without the reward, cravings tend to weaken over weeks. Many people find they simply want less.

Daily naltrexone

  • One tablet a day, every day
  • The most studied way to take it
  • A good fit if you want to stop or drink much less

Targeted naltrexone

  • A tablet about an hour before you plan to drink
  • Sometimes called the Sinclair Method
  • A good fit if your goal is to cut back rather than quit

Where GLP-1 comes in

GLP-1 medicines, like tirzepatide, also act on the brain's reward and craving centers. Early studies, including a small 2025 trial of semaglutide, found people drank less and had fewer cravings. Larger studies are under way, and GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved for alcohol use.

The honest part

Naltrexone doesn't make you sick if you drink, and it doesn't stop you from getting drunk. It works best with support, which is why coaching is part of both pathways. Never drink and drive.

Two pathways

Two Clinical Pathways — Provider Matched to Your Situation

Who this is for

Who This Is For

Medication can help most adults who want to drink less. Safety comes first.

Good Candidates

  • Adults who want to cut back a lot, or stop
  • People who've tried willpower alone without lasting success
  • Adults who aren't taking any opioid
  • People who want a private path, without in-person visits
  • Adults with a BMI of 27 or more who also want help with weight (Full Option)

Who it's not for

  • Anyone taking an opioid, including Suboxone or methadone. Naltrexone can cause sudden, severe withdrawal.
  • Physical dependence with withdrawal symptoms. You may need medical detox first.
  • Liver disease, until your liver is checked
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • A personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2, or past pancreatitis (Full Option)

Your provider reviews your full history and medications at intake. Please list every medication, including pain medicine.

Side effects to know

  • Naltrexone: nausea, headache, dizziness or tiredness, usually in the first weeks
  • Tirzepatide: nausea, constipation or a smaller appetite at first
  • Tell any doctor or ER that you take naltrexone. Opioid pain medicine won't work normally while you're on it.

Get emergency help for

  • Seizures, confusion, or seeing things that aren't there after cutting back. Call 911.
  • Yellow skin or eyes, dark urine or severe belly pain
  • Thoughts of harming yourself. Call or text 988, any time.
