Is Naltrexone An Ineffective Treatment for Alcoholism?

The results call into question the overall efficacy of naltrexone for alcohol use disorder. But could the drug be significantly more effective if it were simply prescribed differently? Psychiatrist Stephen Cox argues that The Sinclair Method, in which naltrexone is only taken one hour prior to consuming alcohol, instead of the once-every-morning technique that is most commonly used, is significantly more effective than the traditional regimen.

Unfortunately, although The Sinclair Method is tremendously more effective and much less expensive than the traditional technique, it is still virtually unknown in the United States. Used the proper way, the treatment is an astoundingly effective approach to treating alcohol use disorder, with success rates of around 78%.

So far as the generic pills go, there is no giant pharmaceutical company bombarding us with TV commercials of pretty actor people talking about, "Ask your doctor if naltrexone is right for you."
