Naltrexone for College Students: Safe Solution or Risky Gamble?

Maintaining the mental health of college students is critically important. Treating alcohol use disorder with rehab and medications such as naltrexone is a great way to help an alcoholic to recover.
College life often comes with its fair share of parties and, unfortunately, binge drinking. In this episode, Dr. Mark Leeds tackles a pressing question: Is naltrexone a safe treatment for college students grappling with alcohol use? Dr. Leeds, an experienced osteopathic physician in addiction treatment, sheds light on the complexities of alcohol use among young adults and the potential role of naltrexone in managing it.
He discusses the alarming dangers of binge drinking on campuses and dives into the effectiveness of naltrexone, particularly through the Sinclair Method. This method aims to reduce alcohol cravings by blocking the euphoric effects of drinking. Dr. Leeds doesn't stop there; he emphasizes harm reduction strategies and the critical importance of mental health support for students.
Whether you're a concerned parent, a student, or someone interested in addiction treatments, this episode offers valuable insights into the risks and benefits of using pharmacological aids like naltrexone to combat alcohol use disorder. Tune in to understand how naltrexone might fit into a broader strategy for reducing alcohol-related harm and promoting long-term recovery.
