A medical condition
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.
NSDUH 2024, via NIAAAof adults with it took an approved medication for it.
JAMA Psychiatry 2021, using 2019 NSDUH dataNaltrexone has been FDA-approved to treat alcohol dependence.
FDAHow it works
Here's what happens, in plain words.
A drink releases the brain's own feel-good chemicals (endorphins). That reward is what builds the pull to drink again.
Naltrexone sits on the receptors those chemicals use. The drink still happens, but the "buzz" that drives the next one is muted.
Without the reward, cravings tend to weaken over weeks. Many people find they simply want less.
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.
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
Both start with a private online assessment. Your provider recommends one based on your health, goals and weight.
