Who does naltrexone work best for? How can I increase the likelihood of success?

Naltrexone is typically prescribed for individuals who are either trying to reduce their alcohol consumption or abstain entirely. However, the effectiveness of the medication may be diminished if the individual continues to engage in heavy drinking or lacks motivation to cut down or quit. Consistency in taking the medication is key to success. The best outcomes are often seen when naltrexone is combined with other forms of treatment, such as therapy, support groups, or coaching programs that address the behavioral and emotional aspects of alcohol use.
