Naltrexone and Cognitive Behavioral Coping Skills Therapy for the Treatment of Alcohol Drinking and Eating Disorder Features in Alcohol‐Dependent Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

When used in conjunction with CBCST, naltrexone did not significantly improve drinking outcomes in the overall sample of alcohol-dependent women. However, naltrexone may be of benefit to women who are unable to maintain total abstinence from alcohol. For women with concurrent eating pathology, participation in treatment for alcoholism may be associated with improvements in eating pathology.
