Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Naltrexone has been proven useful in treating alcohol dependents and abusers as it blocks the effects of endorphins during drinking. This reduces the pleasurable effects of alcohol and can decrease the desire to continue drinking. Naloxone is used to treat opioid overdose and is not useful in treating alcohol dependence. Klonopin and Halcion are both benzodiazepines and are used to treat anxiety disorders, not alcohol dependence.
