Naltrexone is effective for Alaska Natives and other Alaskans living in rural areas

Posted On: May 11, 2008 - 8:49pm

Access to treatment for alcohol dependence in rural and remote areas is limited. This study evaluated the effectiveness of two pharmacotherapies for AD -- naltrexone alone, and in combination with sertraline -- among Alaska Natives and other Alaskans living in rural settings. Findings indicate that naltrexone is just as effective on its own as it is in combination with sertraline.
