Today’s video will cover first-line medication treatment options for Alcohol Use Disorder. Translation; prescription medications that can potentially help individuals with alcohol use disorder have reductions in alcohol cravings, reduce the reinforcing effects of alcohol, and hopefully increase sobriety.
The main medications we will cover today will include:
*Naltrexone
*Acamprosate
This video is for educational purposes and to help raise awareness that these potential treatment options exist. Not every person will get the same results as another. This video is not meant to be personalized medical advice. Please consult with your own personal licensed clinical prescriber before deciding on making any changes to your medication regimen.
I hope you enjoy the brief overview and please subscribe and continue to support my channel so I stay motivated to continue to provide educational content and helpful tips such as these in the future.
