Project dates: August 2013 - April 2019
Principal Investigator: Lee, Joshua D.Project dates: August 2013 - April 2019
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a newer form of naltrexone, injectable extended-release naltrexone, for primary care alcohol treatment. Comparative and cost effectiveness data from this study will inform the integration of alcohol medical management treatment into the patient-centered medical home, and possibly expand alcohol pharmacotherapies to persons not otherwise accessing specialty treatment.
