Naltrexone, quit drinking cold turkey with the help of a pill. One former drinker talks about his experience.

"Percy Menzies, St. Louis, Missouri-based Rehab & Recovery Center, Assisted Recovery Centers of America (ARCA Midwest) treats patients in an on-site hospital, then refers them to outside physicians for follow-up treatment along with therapy.

A federally funded study known as COMBINE compared cognitive-behavioral therapy alone with therapy along with naltrexone. Patients receiving both were more likely to stay abstinent and drank less if they did relapse."
