Kappa Opioid Receptor (KOR) Antagonism for the Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Co-Morbid Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Although AUD and PTSD are a common co-morbidity faced by many Americans, there is currently no medication that helps alleviate the symptoms of both disorders concurrently. This study is a proof-of-concept study that aims to test the effectiveness of the combination of extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX) and sublingual buprenorphine (SL-BUP) in the treatment of AUD and co-morbid PTSD. Participants enrolled in this 14-week long study will be given treatment for 12 weeks, asked to fill out self-report measures and meet with study personnel to complete interview measures, provide blood and urine samples, and participate in psychophysiological tasks, among other things.
