Medication: Naltrexone

Naltrexone is a drug that blocks your body's opiate receptors. The theory is that it therefore inhibits your sense of 'reward' when you drink. The most current research, at the time of writing, suggests that it's most useful in getting heavy drinkers to cut down their drinking. I'd suggest, then, that it has no place in our plans for now.
