I've tried Naltrexone before, will GLP-1 work for me?

Naltrexone and GLP-1 medications work in different ways in the brain. Naltrexone reduces the rewarding effects of alcohol, while GLP-1 medications influence appetite, reward, and impulse control pathways that can drive cravings.
If naltrexone did not feel helpful for you in the past, GLP-1 therapy may feel different. Some people notice alcohol feels less compelling or less automatic over time when using GLP-1 medication. Others benefit from combining both approaches.

How can GLP-1 medications affect alcohol cravings?

Research shows that GLP-1 medications can influence the brain’s reward system which is the same system involved in cravings, urges, and habit loops.

Early clinical studies and large real-world data analyses show that GLP-1 medications may:

Reduce the desire to drink
Decrease how much alcohol people consume
Reduce heavy-drinking episodes
Support healthier relationships with alcohol

Everyone is different, but many people notice that alcohol becomes “less interesting” or less rewarding.

Their use for alcohol cravings is considered off-label, which is common in medicine when emerging research supports a potential benefit.

Our clinicians only prescribe GLP-1 medications for alcohol use after a careful medical evaluation to determine if the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

What is Naltrexone?

Naltrexone is medication for treating alcohol use disorder (AUD). The American Medical Association (AMA) recommends naltrexone in their guide for physicians, saying "Naltrexone blocks the euphoric effects of alcohol and feelings of intoxication and allows patients to reduce alcohol use by removing the perceived 'reward' of consumption." Naltrexone is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help people stop drinking or cut back on drinking, as well as to reduce alcohol cravings.

What’s the difference between GLP-1 and Naltrexone?

They work through completely different biological pathways:

GLP-1 (Semaglutide):
May reduce cravings by influencing metabolic and reward pathways associated with urges and reinforcement.
Naltrexone:
Blocks certain opioid receptors that make alcohol feel rewarding, helping reduce “the pull” to keep drinking.

Many patients benefit from a combined approach using both medications. Your clinician will help decide what makes sense for your situation.

Can I still drink alcohol while taking Naltrexone or GLP-1?

Yes. This is not an abstinence-only program.
Many people find they naturally want to drink less because cravings decline, not because they're told they “can’t drink.”

Your clinician will help you set realistic goals based on what you want, whether that’s moderation, cutting back, or eventually reaching alcohol-free days.

‍

Can Choose Your Horizon help even if I'm not an "alcoholic?"

Yes. Although alcoholism is still a commonly used term, Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is the more modern medical terminology for an inability to stop or control alcohol use despite negative health, social or professional consequences. Choose Your Horizon allows people who want to drink less or quit to connect with a licensed medical professional who can diagnose AUD, recommend treatment options, and prescribe medication proven to help people drink less or quit if medically appropriate.

How effective is online alcohol treatment?

Online treatment is equally, if not more, effective than most forms of in-person treatment. Medication, coaching, and most necessary forms of medical support can be conducted virtually without any reduction in quality. In fact, the greater ease of access and privacy can make people more likely to stick with treatment.
