Treatments for Alcohol Use Disorder
Alcohol either acts directly upon mu opioid receptors or causes release of endogenous opioids such as enkephalin; in either case, the result is increased dopamine release to the nucleus accumbens. Mu opioid receptor antagonists such as naltrexone or nalmefene block the pleasurable effects of alcohol mediated by mu opioid receptors.
NEI offers educational activities on how to better manage patients with alcohol use disorder, such as this clip from Stahl’s Essential Psychopharmacology: Video Edition. More about the essentials of psychopharmacology from Dr. Stahl and NEI: nei.global/epv...

Thank you
Informativ and good video!
Did you think when you finished recording, at the start where you kinda say everything slow, they might think you were using alcohol, because I thought it was funny, if you never sped up in talk I could of made a funny clip.
