Summary
The purpose of this research study is to understand the effectiveness of valproate (a common
mood stabilizer) to further reduce alcohol misuse when given in addition to attending an
alcohol rehabilitation program as well as the treatment of mood disorders or PTSD. The main
goal of this project is to understand if people receiving valproate will have a better
recovery than people receiving the standard treatment for alcohol dependence: naltrexone.
