there are some intriguing nuggets in this piece along the lines of "new and different thoughts on loneliness meme" nuggets in this piece, like about military life camraderie. And I think this is the best description for the layman of naltrexone I've ever seen:

At detox clinics, one increasingly common form of treatment is to dose an addict with an endorphin blocker such as naltrexone that locks on to the brain’s endorphin receptors but is pharmacologically neutral, so you don’t get the hit when you drink. Instead, you get a mild form of cold turkey.
