I hadn't heard about it so I did some research...although I should admit that my response to anything that sounds too good to be true is to be pretty cynical.
The idea seems to be to take a medication that reduces the "pleasurable" effects of alcohol while continuing to drink, the theory being that over time, your mind will basically say "hey, why bother" and you would no longer be addicted.
Just logically, this seems flawed. Removing the positives as a behavior modification method is always a slow process...much slower than adding in a negative consequence. Yet so many of us drink and
continue to drink despite huge and nasty negative consequences...so addiction clearly isn't all that responsive to traditional operent conditioning training methods anyway.
I found a pretty good article that discusses this...
