Medication management

Manage your drinking, live your life

When you’re trying to control your drinking or fight your cravings, alcohol can seem like all you can think about. Medication can help you find your balance so you can manage your drinking and live your life.

Naltrexone

Generic

Naltrexone helps reduce the urge to drink by blocking the brain's opioid receptors—part of the reward system that makes alcohol feel pleasurable for some people. By dampening that response, naltrexone can make drinking feel less rewarding and reduce cravings over time.

  • Won't make you sick if you consume alcohol
  • Not compatible with opioids
  • Taken by mouth
  • FDA-approved

Your provider will determine the best dose for you, but most people take 1 tablet (50 mg) once a day. Often a person will start with a lower dose and increase over a few days to reduce side effects.

Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, headache, dizziness, mood changes, difficulty falling or staying asleep, drowsiness, and muscle or joint pain.

$49 / month

Acamprosate

Campral® | Generic

Acamprosate works by helping your brain restore balance after you stop drinking. Long-term alcohol use disrupts brain chemicals like glutamate and GABA. Acamprosate supports the brain's natural recovery, which can ease symptoms like restlessness, anxiety, or sleep problems, especially in early sobriety.

  • Won't make you sick if you consume alcohol
  • Taken by mouth
  • FDA-approved

Your provider will determine the best dose for you, but most people take 2 tablets (333mg each), 3 times a day.

Side effects may include diarrhea, intestinal cramps and flatulence, headache, increased or decreased libido, insomnia, anxiety, muscle weakness, and dizziness.

$160 / month

Semaglutide

Ozempic® | Wegovy®

Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and the brain’s reward system. Early research shows it may reduce alcohol cravings and dampen the rewarding effects of drinking—possibly by affecting dopamine pathways linked to addiction.

  • Won't make you sick if you consume alcohol
  • Injection
  • Off-label prescribing

Your provider will determine the best dose for you, but most people start with an injection of 0.5 mg once a week for one month, and increase the dosage on a monthly basis (if appropriate) until the target dose is reached.

Side effects may include decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, heartburn, and burping.

$299 / month*

*Wegovy is $299 for the first month, then $499 per month after.

Tirzepatide

Mounjaro® | Zepbound®

Tirzepatide activates two natural hormones—GLP-1 and GIP—that help control appetite, metabolism, and blood sugar. Like semaglutide, it may influence parts of the brain involved in craving and reward. Though still being studied for alcohol use disorder, early results suggest it may help reduce the desire to drink.

  • Won't make you sick if you consume alcohol
  • Injection
  • Off-label prescribing

Your provider will determine the best dose for you, but most people start with an injection of 2.5 mg once a week for one month and increase the dosage on a monthly basis (if appropriate) until the target dose is reached.

Liraglutide

Victoza® | Saxenda® | Generic

Liraglutide activates two natural hormones—GLP-1 and GIP—that help control appetite, metabolism, and blood sugar. Like semaglutide, it may influence parts of the brain involved in craving and reward.

  • Won't make you sick if you consume alcohol
  • Injection
  • Off-label prescribing

Your provider will determine the best dose for you, but most people start with a daily injection of 0.6 mg for one week. The dose is typically increased gradually each week until the target dose is reached, based on your response and tolerance.
