Mechanism seems to tolerance – Diathesis for other drugs is less clear.

AA meetings – MET as good over time with less treatment. Better for those high in anger – Behavioral treatments work Pharmacotherapy • Alcohol – Antabuse – Become ill if one drinks – Naltrexone – Opiate antagonist • Heroin/Opiates – Methadone – An agonist. Opiate replacement – Buprinorphine – A partial agonist. – Naltrexone – Blocks opiate action • Cocaine – Haven’t found one yet • Overall not many meds work. Compliance is the ultimate issue.
