Perspectives from scientists, treatment centers, doctors, and a legal prosecutor are also presented. The film describes the application of opioid blockers (naltrexone or nalmefene) as an alternative to help alcohol addicts in place of other more mainstream solutions such as 12-step plans, a regimen also known as "The Sinclair Method." The treatment is claimed by the C Three Foundation to have a 78% success rate in remedying alcohol dependence.〔〔 Naltrexone is FDA approved for use in the United States. In 2013/4 the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) approved nalmefene for use as part of the NHS National Services Scotland.〔 Some studies have show the treatment to be effective in reducing the urge to drink.〔 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://web.archive.org/web/20111219125217/http://www.contral.com/resources_02.html )〕 The treatment is described in the film as follows: a single dosage of taking a naltrexone is taken one hour before drinking alcohol, but not on other occasions. Over the following months, most users will begin to drink alcohol less frequently or in smaller quantities. Usually after 3 to 4 months (but occasionally 15 months), successful practitioners are no longer addicted; some people give up drinking alcohol altogether, while others become social drinkers. If they choose to continue to drink, the patients have to continue taking the drug as needed for life. Therapy may optionally also be used.〔〔 (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cthreefoundation.org/about-the-sinclair-method.html#.VChtp1cXO9s )〕〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「One Little Pill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
