The AA industrial complex has such a hold on this part of our medical system, I doubt you'll see doctors prescribing it to reduce drinking. I was drinking too much, told my doctor, got the usual crap about going to AA. I asked for a naltrexone prescription. He hadn't heard of it, said it wouldn't work, but did give it to me. Alcoholism cured. We already know how to fix it, there's just a lot of people making money off selling the ineffective program from 100 years ago.
