Summary
The abuse of alcohol is especially common in people with bipolar disorder. However, very
little is known about how to treat people with both bipolar disorder and alcohol
abuse/dependence. The purpose of this research is to determine whether naltrexone add-on
therapy is associated with a greater reduction in alcohol use and alcohol craving than with
placebo (an inactive substance) therapy.
