New research suggests that GLP-1 medications may do more than support weight loss and blood sugar management. They may also help reduce alcohol cravings by affecting the brain's reward system.

Studies in animals, real-world data, and early clinical trials have shown promising results, though GLP-1 medications are not yet a standard treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD).

As research continues to evolve, these medications may become an important tool in supporting recovery for some individuals.

Talk to your doctor to learn more about whether GLP-1 medications may be right for you.

Every name is someone deeply loved and missed.

This powerful video shared from the Rhode Island Department of Health reminds us that overdose deaths are preventable and that Naloxone can save lives.

Carrying Naloxone and knowing how to use it can make the difference between life and death. Together, we can help protect our friends, families, and community members.

This video was created by the Rhode Island Department of Health and is being shared here to help raise awareness about overdose prevention.
