Hooked on alcohol or drugs? A new medicine can help you get off the hook gradually and without much strain, according to John Mututho, the former anti-drug abuse agency boss. Mututho, the former chairman of the National Authority for Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (Nacada), has partnered with an Indian company to introduce the implantation tablet that, he said, helps alcohol addicts stay sober. The medicine naltrexone is manufactured by Rusan Pharma Ltd, the Indian firm. Mututho and Nevin Saxena, the chairman Rusan Pharma Ltd, launched Naltrexone at the weekend. Dr Saxena described naltrexone as non-addictive, non-narcotic medicine that attaches to the opiate receptors in an addicts’ brain, which contribute to the pleasurable effects alcoholics feel when drinking alcohol. “When Naltrexone blocks these receptors, people experience fewer alcohol cravings and less pleasure if they drink alcohol. With naltrexone helping to support sobriety, patients are better able to abstain from drinking and focus on their recovery programme,” said Saxena. He said the drug has been successful in the treatment of alcoholics in India and introducing it in Kenya would help alleviate the suffering of the six million people said to be hooked on alcohol.
