Naltrexone can be used to treat alcoholism, too.
Like drug dependency, alcoholism can also lead to criminal
behavior. Crimes of violence are often the result of an
alcohol-fueled rage.
Oral Naltrexone is FDA-approved for the treatment of alcoholism
and has been shown to be effective in studies. One study with
alcohol-dependent war veterans was reported in 1997 by
psychologists from the University of Pennsylvania and Rutgers
University. A second study, again using veterans as subjects,
was conducted by Brown University and reported in The New England
Journal of Medicine.
"Of the several drugs studied for the treatment of alcohol
dependency, the evidence of efficacy is strongest for naltrexone
and acamprosate."
~ New England Journal of
Medicine, May 13,1999

These studies concluded that oral Naltrexone can be clinically
effective when subjects comply with a rehabilitation program as
designed by psychiatrists and/or addiction medicine specialists.
Oral Naltrexone therapy improved the outcomes, reduced the
morbidity and mortality rates of subjects and improved the
quality of life.
Again, we at The NaltrexZone strongly advocate a 12-step recovery
program to supplement Naltrexone therapy.
