| 92 |
adequacy of the opioid therapy, whether or not patients were undertreated, is ignored. |

"The balance of <increased risk of> harm and <reduced risk of ischemic disease> determines <what are moderate, or less-than-risky,> amounts... Either naltrexone or acamprosate is first-line therapy; naltrexone is the better choice if the patient has not abstained... Disulfiram is an alternative that works best when supervised." |
