The long-range goal of this ongoing research program is to find more effective treatments for
alcohol dependence by combining medication with the appropriate psychosocial support. This
proposal has three specific aims: (1) to compare the effectiveness of naltrexone (Revia) in
three types of treatment settings; (2) to assess the effects of psychosocial support on
medication compliance and treatment retention; and (3) to investigate the individual
characteristics that may predict who is likely to benefit from additional psychosocial
support versus simple medication management.
