Emergency Department-initiated Naltrexone for Alcohol Use Disorder: Association with Recidivism
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to determine whether administering naltrexone in the emergency department (ED) would reduce recidivism rates for alcohol use disorder (AUD) within 30 days post-treatment. While the overall study population showed no change in ED visit rates after naltrexone administration, frequent ED users (those with four or more visits in the preceding 90 days) experienced a significant reduction in visits following treatment. This suggests that naltrexone may be beneficial for high-frequency ED users with AUD.
