Naltrexone Can Control Binge Eating and Binge Drinking of Alcoholic Beverages

Larry D. Reid

Abstract: Given the extensive research on the influence of both exogenous opioid agonists and antagonists on durations of ingestion, it seems prudent to use that information to control diseases associated with binge drinking and eating. Doses of naltrexone, an opioid antagonist, can be used to manage binge drinking of alcoholic beverages and binge eating of palatable foods. Here, details are provided on what might be optimal procedures using naltrexone to manage binge drinking characteristic of alcoholism and binge eating disorders.
