Yep! So far it looks like GLPs might just be a generic "craving-reducer." Pretty wild stuff if it holds (and we continue not to see significant adverse effects).
Not only that but prescribers and patients have noticed that GLP-1 agonists also appear to significantly reduce people's consumption of drugs like alcohol, nicotine and opioids. At least in some populations.
Much more research is needed but right now it's extremely promising that they will have a place in addiction treatment in the future.
