Combined pharmacotherapies and behavioral interventions for alcohol dependence
Article Abstract:
A study to evaluate the efficacy of medication, behavioral therapies, and their combinations for treatment of alcohol dependence and to evaluate placebo effect on overall outcome is presented. A positive effect of receiving placebo medication and medical management over and above that seen with specialist-delivered behavioral therapy alone is observed and so medical management of alcohol dependence with naltrexone appears to be feasible.
