Summary

This early-stage study tests whether combining semaglutide (a diabetes drug) with naltrexone (a craving-reducing medication) can safely help people with alcohol use disorder drink less. About 45 adults in a residential treatment program will take the combo for 4 weeks. Researchers will track side effects and changes in drinking behavior to see if the approach is promising.
