The lecture does not start until at least 7 minutes and should have been edited. But I'm grateful someone decided to post this material without monetizing being the primary incentive.

I appreciate that people are finally talking about antagonist therapy for opioids. Unfortunately it was left out one of the crucial benefits of Naltrexone (both oral and injectible): it curbs cravings as well, which greatly enhances a person's ability to focus on the counselling/therapy work.
