Can a shot curb the urge to drink for pleasure?

NCT ID NCT05028062

Summary

This study is testing whether a monthly injection of a medication called naltrexone helps people who drink primarily for pleasure reduce their heavy drinking more than a placebo (inactive) shot. 60 adults with alcohol use disorder will receive either the real medication or a placebo injection, plus brief counseling, over 8 weeks. The goal is to see if this specific group of 'reward drinkers' benefits more from this treatment.
