Although it’s been used since the 1980s, naltrexone remains a relatively unknown treatment for alcohol dependency.

Costing around £3 per pill, the drug blocks the “euphoric and sedative effects” of alcohol which helps “reduce cravings” and cut down consumption, said London’s The Standard. Naltrexone reportedly has a claimed 80% success rate in clinical trials and can be prescribed by the NHS but is more commonly accessible privately.
