No other medications have yet been approved by the FDA to treat alcohol and substance abuse. However, the National Institutes of Health are supporting research into many other medications that may, in the future, be found to be effective. The FDA will approve other medications to treat alcohol and substance dependence only after scientific research studies prove them to be clinically effective.
