Study type | Interventional |
Early problem drinkers are prevalent in the United States. Recent controlled trials have
shown that brief interventions in the primary care setting can reduce drinking and
alcohol-related problems in patients who lack evidence of alcohol dependence.
Although naltrexone (Revia) has been approved for the treatment of alcohol dependence, few
pharmacotherapy studies have been undertaken with early problem drinkers. This study is an
8-week trial of naltrexone versus placebo, combined with coping skills treatment that either
focuses on targeted use of medication or serves as background to daily use of the
medication. A total of 160 early problem drinkers recruited through screening in primary
care medical settings will be randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups. Followup
evaluations will be conducted at the end of treatment and again 3, 6, and 12 months.
